Super strong quick realese seat clamp

Bolt is generally better - you can get a double bolt for a more secure
grip.

Think why you need a Q/R and how often you use it... bolts are
generally cheaper too.

pressure of something. It seemed to work good.

I have used the Salsa flip-lock QR seatpost clamp; they're ok, but they
wear out rapidly due to metal on metal contact.

Then I found the HOPE seatpost QR clamp and NEVER looked back!😄 Far
superior to Salsa IMHO and about the same price.

just get a two bolt seat clamp with a facom allen key.... that'll make
sure ur seatpost is nice and tight...

I always try carry a 10mm spanner and a 5mm allen key (i think its a
5mm) when i go riding in case something goes wrong, and i hardly every
change my seat height.

I can also vouch for the Hope QR clamp (like Terry) as i've had it on my
29er for a year now. Plus it comes in lots of different 'colours '
(http://www.hopegb.com/voir_SCGM.html)if you like that type of thing.

Measure the *outside* diameter of the seat tube; use calipers to get a
precise reading. Then, if you want the Hope clamp, go to the website
and find the corresponding size.

Your old clamp should say the diameter on it.

A caliper isn't cheap.

I think the guy said it was 25.4 when I got it, but I can't find a hope
in that size. I'm assuming I'm wrong

25.4 is the inner diameter, you need the outer diameter, which will be
what the clamp fits over.
