Re: Bent KH Frame

Was it a KH post ? Kris Holm is lazered into all stock parts.

My guess is that you don't have a real 27.2 mm post.

The only other possibility is that a piece of over sized tube stock was
mistakenly used to build that frame. It is possible. The contractor
that made the frame may have had many tube sizes in his shop. A janitor
might knock something over, and put one tube in the wrong bin.

Calipers are pretty cheap, at least the kind you need. The outer
diameter of my KH 20 frames seat post holder is 31.5 mm.

If you can buy this 20 $ tool, or find someone else that has one, I bet
yours will be to 31.5 mm. But if not, it is obviously an assembly error,
and I am sure KH would give you a new frame, even after you bunged it
up.:)

It was a KH post, yes. I don't think the tubing was the wrong size, the
slit in the frame was only about a millimetre wide. Widening it fixed
the problem.
