stuck seat post -- should I leave it there?

Started 1 month, 1 week ago (2009-11-10 07:56:00) by erbfarm

I picked up an old Trek 850 mtn bike that I plan to use for winter commuting. I really like the bike, the frame fits me great, and it will suit my purposes nicely except for one thing: the seat post is stuck, I mean, *really* stuck about an inch or two below where I'd like it to be. I hit the seat tube w/ some PB blaster and took the bike down ...

Remove the hardware, spread the clamp with a screwdriver, use a brass hammer to give the post a few good ones. Soak was with thin silicone machine oil mixed with a little water. This one gave up easily. bill

Stuck seat post

Started 2 months ago (2009-10-15 13:12:00) by antfarm987

Hi all, Apologies if this is the incorrect forum... I have a Giant NRS-1 which has the carbon frame and after quite some time I have come to adjust my seat and the post is stuck in the frame. It is an alloy post, not carbon. To release it do I give it a few taps with the rubber mallet or try and twist the post using the seat as a lever? What can I do to stop this happenening again?...

I have a few solutions for steel or aluminum frames, but they all involve things that include solvents or heat, which may not work well on carbon frames.

Stuck Seat Post

Started 2 months, 1 week ago (2009-10-11 00:53:00) by mbalmer

I did a search and read what to do when you get a stuck seat post out of the frame. HOW DO I GET THE POST OUT OF THE FRAME ? My husband has been trying and damaged the seat trying to pound it out. We can't get it to budge. I suggested heating but he said that would damage the paint. I almost don't care even though the unicycle is new. I can't do anything with it until I can cut the seat post to ...

My husband wanted to pound out the expansion pin and pound the post from below. I told him I would use the WD40 and let it sit overnight before trying something so drastic. He said it wouldn't work and even got sort of mad. This morning it took me about 5 minutes to work the seat post out. I can't help but feel a little smug . Now I have to cut the seat post and then try to ride ...

RE: Adjusting my bike after back problems but my seat post is very stuck!

I don't see why you should have to adjust your seat height down at all unless you are moving your saddle further back.

I assume everyone's stuck in their seat to post up on this thread. Had to endure an evening of 'Strictly' (well escaped to the office for an hour and a half). We'll see if Mr Brown can work his magic on Channel 4+1. TTFN.
