Re: Re:
Removed a few in my time by various methods, but have heard off a few this is the least damaging and easiest. I tried the other day and ended up spraying a whole can down inside the post from the top. Couldnt get a good grip on the post as nothing left to attatch a saddle anymore :roll: was/am going to try from below, through the bb but didnt have any tubing. I was wondering how far up you put the hose? was it all the way into the seat post or just below and still in the seat tube?

From my other thread...
The above [plumbers freeze spray can] was a tenner from plumbase.
Half a tube in from the top and.... Nothing. Did make it cold though.
So thought I might as well use the can before trying something else. Used some magura tubing so I could spray it down from below via the bottom bracket.like this
I've probably taken seven or eight very stuck seat posts out now. This is by far and away the best method I've used. I won't use any other now.
It's harmless
It's easy to do
It's quick
It doesn't damage bike or post or paint
