Help: stuck seat tube


ColinMTB

Recommended Posts

I need some advice on what to do (or what not to do)

 

I have an aluminium seat post in a carbon frame that is absolutely stuck. I don't think it has moved since the bike was bought a year ago.

 

I want to loosen it by hitting it with a piece of wood and a hammer but I'm worried about damaging the carbon frame.

 

I've tried penetrating fluid but no success.

 

What should I do????

The three rules of hammering seatposts:

  1. Never install a seatpost with a hammer.
  2. Never, never install a seatpost with a hammer.
  3. Never, never, EVER install a seatpost with a hammer!
