As per the title really, does anyone know what size Hope seatpost clamp fits the EX8? (Northern grit is making mincemeat out of the OE one!)

Mrscrackfox got a 36.4mm Hope for her 2009 EX8, but I think it tells you the size on the back of the Bontrager Cheese one somewhere if you remove it.

But the 36.4 works as it should.

Thanks v.much for the info., 'cos I was on the point of ordering a 35.9mm. Couldn't see any size marked on the Bonty one, but only had a quick-ish look last nite and didn't take it off the bike. When I measured the outer diameter of the seatpost (with my v.battered calipers) it came out at 36.0 to 36.1mm er...plus or minus about 0.5! Noticed that the Hope QR's jump in size, which is why I posted the question. Sounds like 36.4mm is the way to go.

Cheers.
