Are you after a 29.8mm? 30mm works fine if you can't find another :-)

QR for £2.95 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SEAT-POST-CLAMP-29-8MM-ALLOY-QR-NEW-UNUSED-/33...

Bolt ones are looking at over £7 new. Don't seem very common which is a bit of a surprise as it's pretty standard for a 27.2 seatpost.

Yeah, I saw them. About the best I could do too, you can squeeze a slightly smaller one on, but it ain't the best idea.

I could probably do it assuming the bottom bracket is right.

That is assuming you want it done today as I'm free all day.

Looking back at them they want 110mm square taper so it should be fine.

I will bring the required tools tomorrow.

Wishing I'd noticed carboncycles.cc sooner, there's plenty of non-carbon stuff going cheap!

If you cant find a 20t freewheel, not shimano but cheap...

You after a cog for a cassette?
You can get spacers here http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Halo-HG-Singlespeed-Spacer-Kit_42087.htm
and cheap cog here http://www.tredz.co.uk/.Gusset-SS-Cassette-Sprocket_43334.htm

You can save £2 getting spacers from velosolo but you'll get a new lockring with the halo ones.
