Hello,

I’ve done several searches, and unfortunately have come up with different answers. I know that for the 16mm AMTAK Aero reel seat .920 Texalium tubing is supposed to fit perfectly. My issue is that I can’t find a definite answer for the 17 mm version. Does the .980 tubing fit without gaps? I’ve also seen where 1.05 was claimed to fit the 17mm.. so am unsure what to order.

Lastly, I know the 16mm Fuji hoods can be used on the 16mm Aero seats, does anyone know if 17 mm hoods work on the Aero seat as well?

Thanks,

Craig
