Bonty QR on SWMBO's 2012 lush seems to be made of the softest material known to man (well woman in this case)! I can't seem to see the size on the trek website. Any idea what size I need? It's basically the same frame set as the alu EX models.
Cheers folks.

The fuel ex uses a 34.9mm clamp to accommodate a 31.6mm seat post. HTH 😀

They used to be a proprietary 36.4mm, but may have changed? Hope do one in that size as well as Trek.

I guess I can eliminate the 36.4 with a ruler (no calipers here), and I know the post is 31.6, so I don't think the tube walls are 2.5mm thick.

Will check now with a vernier calliper.

They are 36.4mm EXs/Remedys etc.

APOLOGIES! Just checked my fuel Ex and the outside diameter of the seat tube is 36.4mm and the seat clamp (original Bontrager) is stamped "36" on the under side.
