Mojoman Posted June 14, 2013 Share So after hitting a trench in the road quite hard (wasnt paying attention...), the seatpost is now bent! Can I straighten this or should I chuck it and cough up for a new one? I cant see any cracks (that dark line is just some grease that was around the seat post clamp) but I suppose that doesnt mean much with metals?

Mr SingleTrack Posted June 14, 2013 Share Sell it as a set-back seatpost. Then, delete your hub profile and sell your house. Or you can just bin it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
