Hi guys.
Hope someone here can advise me please.
I am putting together an Airbourne though I am not quite sure which model it is. Maybe someone can tell from below.
In the picture it has a USE Alien Ti post marked 27.2 which I believe is the correct size. I can insert it with twisting and a saddle as leverage but it is very 'grindy' going in and quite tight.
I have a second post which I prefer. Like the colour more and on my scales it is only 25g heavier than the Alien. A fair trade I think. This is also marked 27.2 but just slips in by itself.
I have ordered a new clamp from CRC size 31.8mm.
Now, at last the question. With the second post that slips in so easy am I thightening the clamp too much with the possibility of frame damage?
Sorry. Perhaps that is a tad too long but thought the detail may help.
In anticpation, thank you.
