Seized seat post : freedom.

koutoubia · 2016-01-27 10:59:15

As a good few people seemed to have their seat post seized ( or in my case fused) in their bike I thought I would give a heads up. Left mine in with Mike in 360 cycles in Clontarf and he got it drilled out. Needless to say the post was cooked and binned but the frame is saved. I won't give a price as it varies on how much…

I won't give a price as it varies on how much work is needed for removal but cheaper then a new frame.
Hope it helps someone!

(I will probably end up crashing and breaking the frame now)

The bike shop in UCD got mine free after three other shops didn't.
