30mm seatpost rails to 44mm?
Just purchased a Nitto seatpost but didn't realize the clamp rails were 30mm (Keirin) size... anyone know where I may be able to find a 44mm replacement? Thanks

As far as I know, it would not be worth it to change out the saddle rails. I have heard very few cases of this being successful, and it's not a DIY job.
I would return the seatpost and get another one that fits.

Yeah rails are molded into a saddle. I had a buddy hand me a saddle and rails separately saying here just put these together and you can have the seat. Took like 2 hours to get the rails back in, and then a few days later the top of the seat popped off the rails while riding. I trashed it
