Fits perfect! Made for specific bikes.
Needed a replacement saddle post for my old Schwinn Chicago speedster so I could use a new modern saddle. This post is made to fit 13/16” seat post holders; it is made to fit almost any modern saddle. Fits perfect and measures exactly as described. Make sure you completely release the post clamp pressure on the bike before fitting the new post! Also, don’t mount the thing upside down lol, of course your going to be an extra unwanted foot in the air! This product is designed exactly as intended and the company did a wonderful job. Got my schwinn looking shwifty!

If you need this size of seatpost, this is the one to get. Old Schwinns and other older American bikes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks great but a hair too thick for some bikes
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2012

When I received my Wald seatpost I was surprised they sent a #950 model. I would have been upset if I didn't know the 940 and the 950 are the same seat post. I happened to find the Wald online catalog a few days before which shows the 950 is the same as the 940 except it comes with a seatpost shim adaptor- part number 905. Since I did not need the 905 shim adaptor and the shipment did not include the 905 shim adaptor, the 950 equals the 940. Confused yet? Wald may have their reasons for numbering parts this way but unless I saw I the online catalog, I would have sent the 950 back and requested the 940, needlessly.

The quality looks very good and the plating is very nice. It looks like chrome plating to me but again the online catalog just says "plated" whereas some of the other seatpost models say plated or chrome plated with a "C" after the model number. Again Wald could be a little clearer here. Bottom line the seatpost looks good and shiny not like the old time dull finish seatposts.

Now my Sears bicycle is from 1974 and this Wald seatpost was a hair thicker than my old seatpost. Maybe it's the plating on the Wald seatpost but I had a heck of time getting this post to fit. First the new post got caught on the weld point where the top tube inserts into the seat tube. I was able to Dremel the weld down a bit because luckily I had a long enough old metal Podiatry nail filing burr. Once past the weld point, the Wald seatpost with some grease and rotation motion got about halfway in. It was most likely caught up on the seat tube rust. What to do? Do I cut off 3 inches from the bottom of the new post or force the post in with a hammer. Neither. I got a foot long pipe wrench and from the top of the 7/8" thick part attached the pipe wrench and started spinning the wrench. I just screwed the post in using only the weight of the pipe wrench and maybe a slight downward pressure to sink the post down the seat tube to level I wanted it. I will assume I can do the reverse to raise the seatpost but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now that post is set at the right level.

So now the new shiny Wald "950" seatpost, new shiny seatpost clamp (7/8") and new gel padded seat look great. Just remember this seatpost may not simply fit in some older bikes even if it's replacing a 13/16" older seatpost.

Quick follow-up edit: I measured what's left of the original seat post from 1974 Sears bicycle. It's 20mm in diameter. The Wald seatpost is and measured 13/16 inch diameter which converts to 20.6375mm. So my original seatpost was a little more than a half of mm thinner. One can get the Wald post to work just remember that .6375 of a mm makes a very tight fit and you may have to file the seat tube a bit and used lots of grease. There is also the chance of spliting the bicycle seat tube tring to make this fit.

Again this is no fault of Wald since they are making a 13/16 inch seatpost and it measerued 13/16inch. Just be aware that some old bicycles use a tad smaller diameter seatpost.

5.0 out of 5 stars got it for a 74 Schwinn Varsity

I picked this up after buying an old Schwinn Varsity from a bike shop that just screamed to be ridden. After replaceing the tires, brake pads, cables, and tape, I decided I wanted a nicer seat. I decided it would be easiest to replace the post (well, than and a former owner etched their name in the post) so I went ahead and ordered this. AFAIK, this is made for Schwinn bikes only, if it isn't a Schwinn, it won't work. (I might be wrong, but Schwinns can be particular...)

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Confused
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2011

After measuring the opening of my downtube, I ordered this post for an old steel bike I'm fixing up to ride around town. It was 13/16" and the page advertised the same. Great price too. I was really excited to finally throw a seat on my bike and go break it in. The post arrived and apparently was made backwards. The two inch segment fit the tube (barely) but the 8.5 side didn't. The available end now didn't fit my standard saddle attachment. I didn't know what to make of it. Since I'm not one of the cool kids that rides with my butt 18" off the bike, this wasn't going to cut it. Sadly I have to return it. I ended up cutting my own length of pipe and saving the headache. It's not super shiny, but it gets the job done. Maybe it's me, but I would have thought the long end should go in the tube and be adjustable. I can say it's a very sturdy feeling length of pipe. If you like your saddle really high, it may be just the ticket for you. Or maybe mine was made wrong. Either way, something to think about.
