Stuck Seatpost Vs Slide Hammer

[Tootyred]

Nice work guys, it's good to have some alternative methods in the arsenal.

... i know one thing for sure, id never knowingly buy a frame with a stuck post again :|

Why not? Sounds like you had a fun time!

looks like building a diy slide hammer just went on the list of useful tools to have in the back of the workshop

My favourite was is if the seat is still on the post, lay the frame down on the grass, shout loudly 'Look! Its Enrico Pallazzo!' whilst point in the opposite direction. I then jump on the saddle.

Sometimes, theres a loud crack.

Sometimes its the seatpost

Sometimes its the seat clamp

Sometimes its a case of getting a spade and digging the frame out of the ground.

But mostly it works 100%, 60% of the time.

Just a bare frame with seatpost/seat? I'm running out of tools to try some of these but this I can manage!
