Title says it all, looking to replace mine as the clamp is a bit knackered (been working loose and flattened the teeth), I would like one with a bit more offset but need to know how to measure my current post. Is it centre of the post to centre of the clamp bolt?

Also any recommendations for a post? 26.8mm looking to spend about £20... or is this un realistic?
