Please read the description.

I currently ordered a blue origin 8 seatpost (27.2mm). I currently have a Leader v2 725tr frame. I read their requirements and it said you needed to have a 27.2mm seatpost. So i tried it out, to my disappointment, the seatpost kept sliding down. Yes it's a 27.2mm seatpost. Yes i followed the direction on the leaders manual, where you have to tigheten the bolt and unscrew the bolt and keep doing it till it tightens. Anyone can help me p[lease ?
 
Take your frame to the local bike shop, they will have a gauge that will tell you exactly what size you need.

If it slides down THAT easy - your bike requires something bigger in diameter than 27.2mm. Get it to a good bike shop. They can get out the old micrometer & measure it.
