I need a Off Set Seat Post 15.0 mm HELP

Quoted message said:

I need a 15.0 mm off set seat post. I can find nothing less than
15.4 mm. Anyone have a location where I can purchase ? My search
engines & phone calls have not located one.

Wait a minute! Do you realize how small 0.4 mm is? How did you come up with
this 15.0 mm requirement?

Art Harris

OK, so I'm _not_ the guy that wants the seatpost but I do have an
answer to your question.

0.4 of a mm is .015748"

That is approximately 1/64"

Hope this helps.

Lewis.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That is not an answer to the question. The question was, "Does he realize
it?" ;-)

Yes, I assume the OP is talking about 15.0 vs. 15.4 mm of setback. It
certainly can't be seat post diameter.

Art Harris

Yes, I realize.
I used a micrometer it is 15.0mm or a smidgen less. A 15.4, readily
available, will not fit.
This is a 20 year old bike still is great condition. I paid about
$650 ( equivalent to a $1500 today) and it has quality components
still in relative good condition.
I want to experiment with a different seat before I purchase a new
bike.
The size, style would probably be close to a hard tail today.
Any one who has one in adds never can find one in stock when I want to
purchase.
Even if they had i would not pay $175 for an experiment .
I just want to use cheap steel post like they sell in area of $20
for a 15.4 but it is too large.

Something's not right here. Are you talking about seat post diameter? The
most popular size is 27.2 mm. I think the smallest is like 25.0 mm.

Do you mean 25.0 mm? If so, try:

I thought you were talking about set back distance.

Thanks,Art, I found the 25.0 mm on web page you suggested.
I will call tomorrow- hope it is stock.
$36.95 is a reasonable price for me to experiment.
Thanks, again.

Too funny, Leo.

Kind regards.

Now I'm confused.
What frame is it?
Are you looking for a 15.0mm post or a25.0mm post?
25.0mm posts are cheap - $19.95 everywhere (including here) --

I did not realize I made a typo error.
It should have been 15.0 mm seat post and not 25.0 as I typed.
I sometimes miss in my hunt & peck method of finding keys.

This is confusing. I followed that link to the Nashbar site and it shows a 25mm
post. I did not see a 15mm post available anywhere on the site. I can't
imagine a seatpost that small. What kind of bike is this?

Either you did it again or I'm on drugs, or need drugs. Do I need drugs? Am I on
drugs? I'll give you a dollar for a clue.

First post should have stated 25.0 mm seat post diameter.
A trial of a available 25.4 mm dia. seat post confirmed this size was
too large.
No dealer in area has the required 25.0 mm dia seat post in stock.
The suggested web pages do have 25.0 mm dia seat post.

Thanks to all for help
