I have been having probs raising/lowering the seat post on my Meta55 UK, on closer inspection I have discovered that the seatpost has a slight bend in it! about roughly half way down it's length... I am looking at purchasing a new seatpost/saddle but I am unsure as to what diameter seatpost I would need, as some say 30.6mm or 30mm I have measured the diameter myself and it reads 21.72mm (using a digital Vernier Caliper).

Be gratefull for any assistance with this one... cheers Wink Wink Wink Cool
