NotSoBigBen Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Do a search 'stuck seatpost' many many topics with suggestions!
PeterF Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Had the same issue a while ago and one of the tips was to seal the seatpost and then to pour coca cola into the seattube and leave overnight. The coke eats away at the corrosion and helps to loosen the seatpost. Certainly worked for me.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 More side to side movement with upward force. It'll be slow, but you should be able to get it done.
Cippo Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Kind of seatpost, alu or carbon, frame alu or carbon. Are you planning on saving seatpost?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Kind of seatpost, alu or carbon, frame alu or carbon. Are you planning on saving seatpost?knowing the bike, it's alu/alu.
Cippo Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I was gonna suggest a vice grip on the alu to help get a better grip pulling it out as it is moving. Coke will probably help just to loosen it up more.
BaGearA Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 turn frame upside down and pour coke in or Q20 if you don't care about the seatpost ( i.e. not going to use it again ) gooi it in A vice clamp or use a vice grip and long pipe and get creative
Martin PJ Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 I used Q5, turned the bike upside down for an hour to soak the Q5, then removed the post with an adjustable (bobbejaan) spanner. Made some marks on the post though.
quintonb Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Slide hammer will take it out.I got an old Campag aero seat post out of a 20 old year old Tommasini a while ago.Have done it many times, always works. When you put it back, use copper slip it will save you this hassle down the line. Alu on Alu is a terrible combination, specially along the coastline. Copper slip on everything.

Odinson Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Have you tried loosening the seat collar? That's always a good first step.
Martin PJ Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Aka: Monkey wrench, That's it. I believe it is also called a pipe wrench.
