seatpost collar

Hi, I just broke my seatpost collar while untightening it(the bolt just snapped) I have a
specialized s-works 2000 with a 30.9 seatpost, what size seatpost collar will work with it? Will a
31.8 collar work?

thanks! tom

shouldn't be to hard to get a new bolt, or get the old pieces out. be sure to grease the threads
next time. seatclamp bolts do break on occasion.

Tell me about it - broke that many I gave up buying new clamps, and re-modeled the last one with a
new SS bolt and nut, and welded the bolt to the previously threaded pivot rod (stupid idea!). Ain't
breaking now ',;~}~

Shaun aRe - If it breaks, fix it. If it keeps braking, improve it.
