Seat clamp size 95 Rocky Mtn Blizzard - 26.8 post

[Inzane]

Hi all,

Anyone here happen to know the seat clamp size I would need for a 1995 Rocky Mountain Blizzard. It has a 26.8 seatpost.

Cheers!

doesn't have the 95 blizzard that special clamp, because the seattube is not straight ? At least the 95 blizzard I have used to have it. Also mine accept a 27,0 post.

Hmm seat tube looks pretty straight to me, but I know the sloping top of the seat tube you are talking about. I am guessing at the age being 1995, it might be a 96 or something? I think they changed from 26.8 to 27.2 somewhere around that time.

nice bike you have

my 95 blizzard is made of Tange Custom Prestige tubes in midnight black.
Yours is made of Tange Ultimate, and yes no sloping on the top of the seattube. :?

Cant date your bike, and have no idea what size you need for the seatclamp, sorry.

There a lot of RM specialists here, they can help you for sure - had been a great help with my seatpost problem

cheers.

That's a '94, I've got a both '94 and '95 Blizzards!

The '94 also had a sloping seatpost clamp - mine has anyway, as seen here. Maybe someone has leveled it off to fit non-standard clamps? I'll measure mine when I get a spare 5 mins...

Blizzards rule!!

Hmm, your 94 definitely matches the paint and braze-ons. Looks a fair bit different to my Blizzard, but that might just be the frame size. The head tube on mine is super long for one thing...

I guess someone could have cut the seat tube level, but if they have, they made a good job of it.

I only bought it as a frame and fork. The fork is OEM and painted the colour it is, I was assuming it was the original fork. As far as I can figure out the fork is a 95 and so that is why I was thinking the bike was a 95... but this assumption could be wrong!
