Ive just spent 3 hours removing a seized seat post from my 1990 fire mountain, what a tw@t!!!!!!
Now i need a new one! anyone know the correct diameter for this bike??
 
Yaa flippin boo ;) The one in my Richter is still jammed solid in there and was a long post so is taking a lot of cutting out :(
 
I havnt got a micrometer and the old post is in bits, if i collected the bits up and bagged them they would look like a bag of crisps!!
 
If it only took 3 hours it clearly wasn't totally siezed ;)

I've known of epic battles with siezed posts that have gone on for days, even weeks, before either opponent eventually gives up.
 
Wrap some wet and dry around a length of round dowel and clean up the inside
:? Might help :)
