Giba Nut Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 I need a dropper seat post for my Silverback Slider 275. The seat post diameter is 31.6, and the Giant dropper seat only comes in size 30.9. Where can I get one in the correct size? Thanks.
Hairy Posted December 12, 2014 Posted December 12, 2014 you can shim up the Giant dropper with a redbull can or order on a proper shim to take it from 30.9 to 31.6mm from CRC.

Giba Nut Posted December 12, 2014 Author Posted December 12, 2014 Buying a Giant so a dropper seat post fits seems a bit daft. And a Giant with the quality of components I have on my Silverback is quite a bit out of my budget. I guess the shim route is the best option.

I found one of these on sale at Solomon's for R2300. Going to pick it up in the morning. http://www.bikeradar.com/mtb/gear/category/components/seat-post-seat-pin/product/review-fox-doss-seatpost-12-46136/
Skylark Posted December 13, 2014 Posted December 13, 2014 That's a damn good price, do they have any 30,9 posts?
