Question about seat post sizes
I just picked up a KHS Aero Track/Aerotrack frame. Based on what I see on the bike now (and Sheldon Brown's seat post database), the frame is made for a 26.8mm seat post. It looks like 27.2 is a more common seat post size these days. What kind of trouble will I get myself in if I use a 27.2 seat post on this frame? Is that sort of a bad idea, not a bad idea at all, or a horrible idea?
I've been reading BikeForums in Google searches for a while now and it's time I learned some of this stuff first hand. Trying to give my expert biker friend a rest.
Thanks in advance.
