seatpost for bareknuckle

I currently have a 27.2 seatpost in my Bareknuckle, but it's extremely tight in there.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if so, what size posts others are having luck with.

If this has already been addressed in a previous thread, sorry - I did a search and couldn't find any threads related to the issue.

Thanks fellas

maybe the frame got crimped somehow at the seat post housing? try taking the bolt out and carefully bending it apart with a flat head screwdriver.

27.2 mm is the correct size. Its a very tight squeeze in my BK, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. The more snuggly it fits, the less stressful it will be to the frame and seatpost clamp. If the post is in there and at the right hight, I would just leave it alone.
