How to fit Speedneedle into Moots seatpost?

[René]

Is it possible? or should i just buy an other seatpost?

there isn't enough room for the rail of the saddle, so is there someone who had the same problems. Or is there a simple solution for it.

Hmm - why do you ask? whats the problem?

If the radius or the distance between the tubes of the saddle are to big just squeze it to fit.

You need to use the old coin trick!

Put the bolts in the opposite way and use a small coin to push open the clamp. The bolts will hit the coins spreading the clamp apart.

Ti is very flexible

I had to do this on my Moots seatpost.

Thanx for the info.
I will try the coin trick. Never thought of that.

will this trick work to put a speedneedle on a USE carbon post?

No! Do not try it.

Take a look at the Moots clamp design. That should help explain it.

You can use this method of installation on the older style Moots stem also.
