You can probably also use it for verruca removal. Bonus!

Nah - tried freeze spray a few months back - and useless (top tip - to avoid verrucas wear flip flops in the showers when visiting youth hostels! :shock:)

Place Duck tape over the offending verruca to starve it of oxygen - works a treat. ;)
 
Hi Mart.

As my bad luck would have it, I have a Trek frame with this problem, usual methods have failed...If you want to try this out I would happily pop the trek round, especially as we are about two minutes apart!

It would be good to catch up as well!

You sir are a genius. Chuffed to bits. One salvaged frame and salvaged Thomson seat post. Super happy.

Excuse the rubbish pictures...

The above was a tenner from plumbase.

Half a tube in from the top and.... Nothing. Did make it cold though.

So thought I might as well use the can before trying something else. Used some magura tubing so I could spray it down from below via the bottom bracket.like this



Now the whole seat tube went white.



gave it a twist and it moved! A little. Two minutes later...





Seat tube isn't too dirty





I've probably taken seven or eight very stuck seat posts out now. This is by far and away the best method I've used. I won't use any other now.

It's harmless
It's easy to do
It's quick
It doesn't damage bike or post or paint
