Coker handlebar woes
I just received the new Coker handlebar and am having trouble with installing the thing on my Coker Big One that I bought earlier this year. Here's the handlebar... [image: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/m...15143da659c11] The problem is that the inner diameter of the clamp that goes onto the seatpost is slightly smaller than the seatpost itself. I have the aluminum seatpost from Coker, rather than the steel version. Has anyone else had this problem? I tried to force it on, but you can see the results below. In the process of trying to get it to fit, both the clamp and the seatpost were damaged. I tried prying the clamp open, but any attempt to do this just damaged it more by gouging the aluminum through the painted surface. It springs open and then immediately back again, so there is no point were I am able to slide it cleanly onto the seatpost. Has anyone successfully installed the handlebar on an aluminum seatpost from Coker? Thanks, Aaron [image: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/m...15143da659c11] [image: http://www.unicyclist.com/gallery2/m...15143da659c11] -- FlyByTire Just because you can, doesn't mean you should ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FlyByTire's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14437 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70325 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Coker handlebar woes
Hmm, that's strange indeed! The OD for the coker seatpost, whether alum or steel is purporedly 25.4mm. They should be identical OD. The only thing I found different with the big one, compared to my radial in that area, is that the big one's Seat *tube* OD requires a seatpost clamp that is 27.2mm! This is because the alum seat tube's OD is significantly thicker than the radial's steel tube. But again, the *seatpost* OD 25.4mm should fit the ID of the coker handle, but apparenltly there is a discrepency between the alum and the steel seat post OD's, which should not be-if they are *both* 25.4mm. (I guess I'll have to find out for myself as I just got a call from Jamey of uniproshop, informing me that -my- coker bar has been delivered!) -- MuniAddict *'www.unigeezer.com' (http://www.unigeezer.com) * ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MuniAddict's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12920 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/70325 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
