So my RadRunner has a common 27.2mm seat post, but a normal 28.6 seat clamp does not fit. Here's my intention. I wanna put a bmx non-quick release seat clamp on my RadRunner and install a Hexlox so my comfy seat won't get kidnapped, but I found that a 28-6mm seat clamp won't fit the frame. I measured 31.2ishmm with my cheap-o digital gauge, but I just want to confirm the correct size before ordering a seat clamp. I emailed Rad support with my question also, but if anyone has a confirmed size please let me know, and if I figure it out I'll post my findings. Thanks.
I got the 32mm size from https://www.saveyourseatlock.com/product/quick-release-seat-lock/ and it fits correctly.
I found a 30mm from my old Taj Fairdale 26" bmx bike and it didn't fit. Thinking of trying a 31.8mm bmx clamp but then Jman found the coolest seat clamp (32mm recommended by him) EVER! What made you find that Save Your Seat clamp anyway? I might try that instead! Thanks again.
I found it on youtube. It also doubles as a lock for the battery too if you position it so that it blocks it from being lifted out of the cradle.
I ordered the Save Your Seat in 32mm and will post my results. Still might also order a bmx clamp in 31.8mm just in case. At the end of the year I round up all my old bike stuff that's no longer being used and donate it to a bicycle rehab.
Those are super Rad Jman. I want one too!
Rad Power responded to my question and confirmed seat clamp size at 31.8mm. So I know the confirmed 32mm that Jman listed works as well.
I just bought this for my Rad Runner Plus. It won't work as the key cannot be removed because it's blocked by the frame. Am I crazy?
Rotate it a bit so the key can be inserted and removed easily.
I just called Rad and they said 31.8 is the clamp size.
