Fuji ECSM Seat

I am building a MHX CCB865 for a client. He wanted an ECSM seat. The largest I have on hand in a size 16 is 14 mm and it is too small. Will a 15 mm ream out to fit this blank ? Where it sits , it measures 16.5 mm. I don't want to go to a size 17 if I can keep from it.

Would not recommend it. There are no "tabs" in the 15 so you would immediately be reaming the wall thickness of the threaded barrel and the open area where the blank is exposed. I don't think it will take a 1.5mm expansion.

If you have to go to the 17, get both the ECSM and the full seat for him to try, if possible. Personally, I don't find the 17mm exposed blank seats nearly as comfortable. My fingers just don't lay on them as well, and I find the full seat much more comfortable in that size.
