Quick release for a kh 24.

'Salsa flip lock' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=245),
very popular, think this one is the right size.

I would vote for the Hope seatpost clamp.

Quick question, since bike seatpost clamps appear to be measured by the
seat tube OD instead of the seat post OD, what size clamp would be
needed for a 27.2 seat post? Probably a 28.6?

And Joe, I found a better site:

good idea, but I am afraid of that sharp point.

look at the xc-68 on this page.

http://www.kalloyuno.com/productqrs-1.htm

safe and only 36grams... but I wonder how to order it???

the hope is 52 grams.

any other ideas guys?

Read my post carefully...

The bike seat post clamps I was looking at are measured by the OD of
the seat -tube-, not the seat post, unlike the uni ones we are used to.
Otherwise, I am aware of how to purchase seat post clamps for unis.

And Joe, the reason either the Salsa or the Hope QR clamps are good is
because they don't bend the bolt while tightening. Look at your
current quick release...see how the bolt is bent? With excessive
tightening and loosening, the bolt will eventually fatigue and break,
not to mention less clamping power is available with this kind of
setup.

The Salsa uses plastic washers, though, so I've heard it eventually
wears out. The Hope, however, uses brass washers and won't wear out.

That is why my choice is the Hope, even though it may be 20 more
grams... 🙄

Edit: Oh yeah, and the Hope has no sharp points 🙂

Onelesscar is right. For a KH frame (the aluminum models for sure, and
I suspect the old steel ones, too), the seatpost size is 27.2 mm. But
the outer diameter of the frame's seat tube is 31.8 mm. It fits either
31.8 or 32.0 seat clamps. I think that my Salsa is a 32.0, but the QR I
put on my KH29 is a 31.8. Both fit fine.

Oh, and don't go cheap if this is for a muni. The Salsa and Hope are
the way to go--lots of cheap QRs won't hold the seat solidly no matter
how much you try to tighten them. My Salsa holds like a vice, and has
never snagged my leg or shorts; the other one on the 29er, not nearly
as well, although it's pretty good. It'll be replaced with a Hope soon.
The weight penalty is negligible for a better QR. You'll be frustrated,
though, if your seat is twisting under you as you're riding.

Hope 31.8.

Have had one on my KH24 for the last 6 months, including riding Moab in
March.
