Two hour ride along the coastal path more than half of it in the dark. Temperatures were quite pleasant for the time of year, wish I had a descent light :?
Got a little movement on the klein stuck seatpost The thomson post has flanges that the vice can grip. Some strain on it then bounced it a bit and got an almighty creak. More bouncing and its moved around about 3/4-1"
Movement means its free and now just a matter of putting it under strain whilst pulling on the post. Likely clamped upside down so I can use spreading clamps to help push it up as i apply side pressure.
As with all seatpost free`er's, im rather chuffed with meself
