Hi,
I recently bought a used carbon frame that has a Dedacciai Blacktail Race rear triangle. It came with a basically straight Deda Super Carbon seat post that measures 32.1 - 32.2 MM which is a non standard size - does anyone know if that is the correct seat post size? I need a setback seat post and guess I will just try to shim a 31.6 post. The seat tube measures 32.22 at the widest and less (31.8 average) elsewhere. I tried a 31.8 to 27.2 shim and the seat post clamp bottoms out B4 the post is tight.
The carbon seat tube has an aluminum insert that extends about 7/8 " above the carbon tube.
Any other ideas? I can get alum. or stainless shims in different thicknesses so pretty sure I can get it to work.
The builder doesn't have a clue, I sent an email to Dedacciai but have not heard back.
There is now one on Ebay - apparently they made a 32.4 seat post.
