To leave it in or not (seat post)?

[SURFER]

Finally I also got a stuck aluminum seat post in aluminum frame (Morewood Zula).  I have tried to remove it but it seems that I will end up cutting the seat post and use a hacksaw blade to remove (as shown

I have noticed the stuck seat post when trying to adjust  it for a friend. 

 

The question is, do I take the risk in damaging the frame while cutting through the seat post or just keep  riding and leave the stuck seat post (The height is perfect for me)?

Have you tried absolutely everything? I had a carbon to carbon seat post that was proper stuck. I soaked it in lemon juice for a good while then stuck the seat in a vice, upside down, and used the back triangle to lever it. It slowly started to give and I managed to wiggle it out with quite a bit of sweat but it's all good now.

presuming you have indeed clamped the seatpost and tried turning the bike loose from the post.  You can have Paul Specialized Products remove it for you!  He will do a better job than you can.

How do one "soak" the seat post?

 

Who/what is "Paul Specialized Products"

 

Sorry for my ignorance.

 

I can still try harder to remove.  Training for Argus and do not want do damage anything.  Will try harder after Argus.
