Does anyone have a Thudbuster LT seatpost and a spare elastomer that they could measure (length, OD, ID)?

Why? Well, I've been bitten by the retrobike bug, and recently rebuilt a RockShox Quadra 21R fork with a refurb kit. But there are only medium and hard elastomers available from them, while there are 5 or 6 available for the Thudbuster. So if they're the same size, they'll let me tune the fork.

Edit - original elastomers were 28 mm long, 19-20 mm dia, with a 4-5 mm hole in the middle.

Thanks, JB, that confirms that it may be possible. But I'd still like a measurement if someone has one.

I emailed Cane Creek, and they responded in less than 1/2 hour! 😀

Thanks for your question- you're not the first. Our elastomers are 31mm long x 25.5 wide x 6.5mm inner diameter. They will not work on anything other than the Thudbuster.

Unfortunately, not the answer that I wanted to hear. 😐

What colour elastomers are you after as I may have some spares in my toolbox?
