sorry for the simple question posts...
what size quick release seatpost clamp do I need, I know the seatpost size is 31.6, but I haven't seen a seatpost clamp by either Hope or Salsa that size.....

thanks

You didn't mention the model frame. I have an 04 SB with a 24.9 Salsa QR clamp, which also has a 31.6 post.

34.9mm is what Ricness was trying to say. I would try the IRD Tail Fin over the Salsa or Hope.

The 2001 Switchblade had a 27.2 seatpost, at least mine did. I think you would need a 31.8 seat collar for that (not absolutely sure but pretty sure). Only 2003 and up SBs have 31.6.

I second that. I upgraded to a Tailfin from the Salsa this past Spring, and it is definitely worth the higher price vs Salsa. My seatpost has not slipped once in the months I have been using it, unlike with the Salsa, which was a regular event. It's all in the cam.

Salsa, 35.0 works fine for me.

I just make sure the bolt is tight to begin with & it holds fine.
