Has anyone had a problem fitting this seat on an existing seat post? The bracket seems much too small. Thanks to all who replied. I determined that the problem was that my "cross" bike has a 26.6mm seat post, and the seat bracket is built for a 7/8" post. Didn't know to look for that. I'm disappointed that neither the seller nor Amazon warned of that, as a little on-line research indicated that is not an uncommon problem. I've returned the seat.

I do recall having a problem with the two supports under the seat being a little out out of whack. All I did was bend them a tiny bit and they fit into the clamp though.

I didnt have any issues at all and I have to say this seat is amazingly comfortable as oppose to the original seat instaled on my bike. I have been using my bike a lot and I just cant believe how comfortable this seat is.

iff the post dosen't match...take the hardware off the seat and clamp your existing hardware onto the cloud rails

To me it appears to be a standard size. It fir on my Dahon folding bike with no modifications.

I had this issue when I first tried installing it, and it took me a little bit to figure out. You don't have to use the mounting hardware that it came with; instead, I used the mounting from the seat I was replacing, and that worked just fine.

Are you sure you are adjusting the seat. It is gel filled to absorb the bumps.

I was able to get it to fit on the existing post of a 1980's Raleigh Rapide, I had no issues with fitting it securely.

My seat fit o.k. on the existing post, it was just very hard and uncomfortable to sit on

I clamped it to a 26.8 Schwinn Suburban seatpost. With its shape though, I think it's a little variable based on how much you screw it.

No, seat is made to install on standard seat post. It would take substantial fabrication to make installation point elsewhere.

It would probably have to be adapted. Some cut and paste. Every bicycle seat has a different sized post.

I bought this thing and could not get it to work on my ladies schwinn cruiser bike. It seems to need the cross bar (which I thought were only on mens bikes). Am I missing somthing because I am thinking of sending it back.

This seat fits any standard seat post. it does not come the with mounting brackets, you take the mounting bracket off your old seat and put it on the two steel rails under the seat an fit it back on to your seat post. It is really easy.

as long as you have a seat post that fits into the bike frame at one end of the post, and at the other end of the post, fits into the bracket that should of come with the seat. Any problems and the bike shop can do a cheap fix...

I believe the post is 27MM and every bike has a specific requirement so it is not a universal fit for any bike.

the bike should have a quick release clamp,if not and you need to interchange seats and/or post then you will need to find or buy one. On our bike we use two different seats each with its own post and with this post i had to have a shim, which amazon sells. Note: All bikes and/or posts do not use a common post hole diameter.

I checked the diameter of both the units I bought and it looks as if 1" is the max diameter of the post clamp.This would not fit my seat post but the rear frame wheel support. Hope this helps... Please note that the most recent one purchased only had the large size clamp and came with two dead batteries. Perhaps this was a customer return.

I bought two at the same time. I put them on our bikes and have had no trouble. You might have to change the shaft the seat attaches to so it is the right size. Both of our bikes came from Walmart.

27.2. There is expected to be a slight amount of play so that the post can slide in and out, but one mm too large will never fit. Note: this post doesn't have a seatpost collar, you have to buy that separately.

I'm pretty sure that most seat posts are a standard size especially if you have a beach cruiser. I just took my old one off and put this one on my old beat up beach cruiser.

I've never bought a saddle that wouldn't fit a seat post but I'm not sure about this one and your specific post. Your bike shop should be able to tell you or contact the manufacturer. Sorry I'm not much help!

Hi John, I'm not familiar with your particular model bike. I bought this for my wife's bike after she took a spill and broke her pelvis. As it turned out, I did have to buy a new seat post from a local bike shop (about $25) because her original seat had a different configuration under it. This seat is more of a "normal" attachment, but you would have to make that determination after you get it. You can always return it, but I'm pretty sure your local bike shop can provide you with the right attachment post if you need one.

In my opinion you need to make sure you get the exact size you need, I don't know what you used to measure but you should try to look up your bike on a sight such as bike-pedia that will give you the exact sizes and stats. for your bike. That being said 27.2 is one of if not the most used seat post sizes along with 25.4 so that might be what you need, but seat post sizes are in increments of 2mm and if you do not buy the correct size it is more trouble than taking the time to get it exact.

You will need 2 inches of your seat post for the clamp wings to attach there. Measure 10 in. out level from the seat post. This is about where the seat begins to curve up into its handlebars and will give you an idea of how it will fit your bike. Call us if you think it is close and you are worried. We might have some other solutions for you. Let's get you riding!
