• Will do. Anyone ever tried putting the seatpost in a vice and twisting the frame?

    Dave yates told me this was the best method, but I'm afraid of twisting the frame in some way.

  • I've had one out this way (a properly stuck one), soaked it in Diesel for a few days and put it in a bench vice, the seatpost didn't survive but the frame was fine.

  • When you say soaked it in diesel, what the best way to 'soak' it per se? Presuming you don't have a vat of diesel to submerge the frame in. I've pumped a load of GT85 (all I had), through one of the bottle bosses and strapped rubber glove over the open end of the seapost.

    @coppiThat that's actually the exact one I've been looking at, weeride something or other - brother in law recommended it. However, I'm not in London so need delivery.

    @Theoazb Yeowch, that looks like a epic ballache. Can't think of any other way then the 'dissolve that bastard' method but I'm a newcomer to the 'letting a stuck seatpost consume your life' game.
