The devil is a seat post
« on: March 02, 2009, 11:43 AM »
Well after last night and all this morning managed to remove SOME of a seatpost but the rest just won't move the worst thing is all that is left is about 3 inches roughly 2 1/2 inches in the bloody frame, so I can't get to it at all and am now lost at what to do???

The seatpost is very brittle though and just keeps breaking away so not sure what it is?

Any idea's on how to remove before I try and find a whacking great drill?

Use a hacksaw blade and carefully cut the seatpost out by cutting through the inner wall of the seatpost.  Once cut through you should be able to "peel" it out by turning it inwards using pliers  :daumenhoch:


Better to crash and burn than fade away
