However, after my bikefitting session, the bikefitter recommended a 25mm seatback seatpost. So, I decided to look for a 25mm setback seatpost in the event that my bike feels too cramped.
To confirm what I will need, I looked at the Lynskey website for the Helix OS and found out that the Helix OS would need a 27.2mm diameter seatpost! I noticed that you are using TC Ti 31.6mm diameter seatpost.
Am I missing something?
What seatpost diameter should I use?
With Regards,

Btw, does the finish of the TC Ti seatpost match the bright-brushed Ti finish of your Helix? Also, I am assuming you are using the Vittoria Open Pave EVO 24mm clincher tires - any clearance issues?

Sorry for not seeing your post until now, I don't really post here that often anymore. I'm glad you got your questions answered about the seatpost. It is correct that they have switched in 12. I have a Cooper CX Disk inbound and anticipate it will have a 27.2 seatpost standard. The tires on the current pics are 23mm Corsas I have Paves on my OP CD Ceramics.
