(LBS is quite far from from where I live, so I'm not going soon.)

No you probably only need a seat binder bolt, like this. You probably shouldn't need to replace the entire clamp just pull out the quick release and put in the binder bolt. As TugaDude stated bring the bike to the LBS and get the right size bolt.

PS by the way you 27.2 is the seat post diameter not the seat tube diameter. The clamp that you linked to, needs to fit around the seat tube not the seat post. If you were to place one of those clamps on the seat post, it may not go down any more but the seat and seat post will pivot in the seat tube and be very irritating
