seat post fitting help please
« on: February 17, 2010, 02:49 PM »
hello, have had this problem with loads of bikes and i just usually swap posts around until one fits.

any tips for these as surely they are all the same old school size? skyways, gt's and diamond backs

should i grease the post before i slide it in? :D

any tips on cleaning inside the seatpost downtube? as perhaps bit grubby and rusty down there

advice gratefully appreciated  :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
