Can I replace broken seat rail clamp on Easton seatpost?

[surfguy13]

I have a really nice Easton seatpost and unfortunately the lower section of the seat rail clamp has broken (please see photos) and I'm unsure whether I'm going to have to ditch the seatpost altogether. I can't find any info on replacement clamps so I'm guessing they don't exist?
I assume that seapost clamps aren't 'standard' and therefore I won't be able to use a clamp from another seatpost on the Easton? Any info would be very much appreciated.

Re:

That looks very similar to the clamps on Shimano posts, some of which used Easton tubing. I have a couple of Deore XT posts in the loft. I’ll get them out tomorrow and take some pics for you, if they look the same.

Hi Pat

Thanks very much for that, I would be really grateful if you manage to find the XT posts and are able to take a couple of photos. If they are the same that would be perfect as I'm sure I should be able to find an XT clamp somewhere.

Cheers

Hi Guy,

The XT post clamps are not quite as nicely finished, but they will fit. The clamps on XTR posts look to be identical.

If you are interested in an XT clamp, I will sell either of the posts that I have. The XTR one is not for sale though, sorry.

Cheers.

Hi Pat

Thanks so much for taking the trouble to find and take photos of the two posts/clamps. Really great to know that the XT and the XTR clamps should fit, really great news. I think the XT clamps would look a bit odd on the silver Easton seatpost though and ideally would like to try and find something in silver not black. Would it be OK if I have a look around and get straight back to you if I can't find anything in silver?

Many thanks

Guy

Hi Guy,

Of course, no problem. I've just had a quick search online and some Dura Ace and Ultegra posts have the same clamps as the XTR and your Easton post as well.

Cheers.

Thanks Pat, you're a star! I will include DA and Ultegra in my search.
