So I'm having a wee poke around my spiffy Wicked tonight... what's this, a seat post shim?

Questions for the FAT lads before I do anything with pliers I might regret...

- Should there be a shim?
- If no shim, then seatpost size is 26.4, right?

No shim

And 26.4

Ta. Pliers Hooooooo....

Shim might be for 25mm post? Might give you more choice of posts, I think I have a 26.4 post if you want it? Not pretty but free.

Good looking post IMO

Aye, I was thinking it was possibly 25 as well. I might keep the shim. Thanks for the offer, but amazingly I'm in good shape for 26.4 posts, same size as the Rockhopper and Stumpy

Ach, it's only for a fixie/track bike

Agreed, it is nice, I do like that road bike ' fluting ' or whatever you call it. Current thinking says black seat post for the Fat though.

Black would be nice with the forks

Your opinion's guys please Im doing my '91' Explosif up
and Im gonna repaint it, my problem is and I hope the
photo can show this properly. The frame looks blue but
the real Kona colour is called Deep Purple that's the
areas that aren't faded.
What do I do BLUE or PURPLE? :?

Their was a tiny fragment of doubt when I bought it, I 'THINK' I
contacted Anthony then but cant be sure. Its all badged up as a
Explosif but that means nothing.


No apology for bringing this up again but check this out its the same frame as mines
