Hi All,

I have a Reflex Easy Street folding bike and need to get a longer seatpost. The ones for the Bromptons are too big in diameter. I need one that is 28.6mm in diameter but even after scouring the internet I can not seem to find them anywhere!! It doesn't even need to be telescopic and can be fixed. It seems 28.6mm is a fairly standard size, just not for folding bike seatposts. Anyone have any ideas where I can find one?

Many thanks in advance!

Ross.

How long does it need to be? I got a 28.6 x 400mm silver post for about 8 quid off ebay for my folding Stowaway - and that's at least long enough for me at 6 foot but with long legs.

The one I currently have is 400mm and my knees are pretty much higher than my seat. I am 6ft2. I think I need something about 700/800mm.

Ack. I don't know. I know some people bodge a telescopic post by putting a narrow seatpost inside either a wider post or a sawn up old seatube, then clamping. You might want to ask on the folding forums.
