Kestrel Seatpost Adaptor Install HELP!
Quote | Reply
I have 2011 Talon that i purchased second hand. It came with the seat post adapter (3 parts?) that allows the use of a normal 27.2 seat post.

And I have no clue on how to install them...lmao.

By the looks of it ...two shims go round the 27.2 seat post and then its to be inserted into the seat tube?? But there is no way that fits. And I have no idea what to do with the third part.

This is my first carbon fiber frame and I don't want to make a mistake.

Anyone have picts or instructions??

Thank you in advance T2011

My Talon had a one piece triangle that went behind the round seatpost. I have the carbon fiber seatpost for the Talon that I could let you have for a very good price.

I have the carbon seat post...but i wanted to mount the frame in my repair stand.

There is supposed to be a one piece triangle?? now that would make sense...but i don't have that :(

I always just hang the carbon bikes by the seat on the repair stand

No! I just hang it by the seat. I have even clamped down on the seat to keep it secure at times.

It's a thought. It would be better if i could find one those triangular 'wedges'. Guess i could also buy a new repair stand lol.
