Seatpost Seatpost My Day Well Spent
Okay guys hopefully you can help me here. I need a 28.6mm zero set back seatpost. I have searched the internet for hours. My eyes are crossed. I can only find the Thomson Elite, but would like to stay with Carbon Fiber. I found seatpost shims 27.2mm to 28.6mm. Any input on the shims? Any other brand of post? I am a weight weenie with this bike.
Thanks in advance,
Richard

28.6 is a MTB size isn't it? I tried to have a look but all I could find was mostly MTB posts in that size. Some resonably light ones though

I think some newer frames are starting to use oversized MTB type parts now.
I guess 28.6 isn't so odd anymore.

It is a Cervelo Team 2.5 Frame. I should have known that seatpost business would haunt me.
Thanks guys,
