New all mountain rig

hi all

as some will know my current hardtail rig has been on it's last legs for a while now (more new parts to keep it going than it came with) and just doesn't cut it for my riding any more. Especially after a weekend on a full-susser in Wales last year.

The bike I rode in Wales was a Genius 920 and was amazing to ride but a bit too expensive for me and ...

CRC Bike Bag advice please

Does anyone has one of these CRC bike bags or similar?

I wonder whether Scott Voltage can fit inside? Need to ship the bike at end of the week and have been considering getting one as it will come handy in future as well. Any opinions are much appreciated.

Cheers
Peter

Need a new QR seat post clamp, size?

Hi,

I need a new QR seat post clamp, I measured the outer diameter of the frame where the seat post slots in, and it measured 30.4mm (tape measure straight across, one end to the other);

I had a look on eBay, and bike shops, for a 30.4mm seat post clamp, but nothing, is this just a very odd size, or am I missing something here?
