Boardman CX seatpost

[NormanD]

Anyone know the width of the Boardman CX seatpost .. is it 31.6mm as I might order THIS if that's the correct size.

Many thanks in advance

Are there no measurement markings on the existing seat post? The 2012 Team CX's are 31.6 per the site.

It's a 31.6mm as you said Pete

I'm sure you've considered this, but just in case you've not...the post you've linked to is in-line, the post on the Boardman (looking at pics on the web) has quite a bit of layback.

Yes I noted the boardman seatpost has a lot of layback, which wasn't a problem with the charge spoon saddle I was using. Now I've switched to a specialized BG Romin saddle the seatpost has now become a problem. The saddle is a lot more forward, than the charge spoon was, so now the seatpost clamp is almost at the rear end of the Romin rails (bar about 3mm from the bend in the rails). I want to correct this by adding an in-line seatpost to bring the clamp more central to the saddle rails.

I know it's rather safe as it is, but with the roughness of some of the roads on my cycling routes, I wouldn't want a rail to snap a number of miles from home.
