Hi weenies,
Recently got an RB800 (great frame) but the setback on the seatpost means I'm still about 1cm too far back even with the saddle jammed forwards. The Bond has a 0 offset option and to the naked eye it looks identical to the RB800 in width and length. Anyone know if they are cross compatible?
Big thanks

What do you mean? RB800 has a integrated seatpost while Bond's seatpost is a traditional one. The clamping mechanism is the same of course.

My RB800 was an ex-Axeon team one that has a seatpost, not a seatpost topper. I guess this is where the confusion might be. It has an un cut seatpost which I guess used to take a topper and they slid a seatpost inside which for all the world looks like the Bond one.

I'll take a picture and measure tonight and maybe a Bond ownder can confirm with their seatpost?

Ok I measured and it 4.3cm long and 2.4cm wide at its widest.

Any bond owners mind measuring there's? Would be a huge help. Thanks!

you rock, thanks a ton! Looks like the same one fits in there. Off to find a 0 offset Bond seatpost!
