Hi all,
The seat post clamp on my 2017 Specialized Tarmac SL4 Elite has decided to crack!
Now as with all my other bikes sourcing a spare clamp has never been an issue, until now!
The clamp clearly states 32.6 on it & to me this is obviously Spesh specific size, so off to the interwebs I went & it's turned out that 32.6 clamps are as rare as hens teeth! Awesome!
I was wondering whether anybody here has experienced the same problem & has managed to source this elusive sized clamp!
I know there is one called the Carbon Ti X in this size but £38 for a clamp! there must be an alternative?
Thank you for reading!

That is definitely one route I could take. I would have expected it to be an available mass produced part! thanks for your reply

Seems to be a common occurence! I've seen the exact one listed in the Specialized US online, but it's listed as no longer available in the UK which is a bit unsettling for a 2017 bike!
