seatpost options for 2003 klein q carbon race - the 31.6mm question

[cscotech]

what are my options to replace the 31.6mm seatpost on my klein q carbon race? i've noticed quite the lack of 31.6mm seatposts out there or do they make some kind of shim to add to the 27.2 sizes?

Got the same ride. Tossed in a shim so the standard (27) post fit. That big ole Thompson is a pain. This will also allow you to have a lighter post and if you want go the carbon route. Plus the Thompson has a zero set back which could be an issue when positioning your set farther back.
