Wedged in the frame bracket saddle is one of those failures in the bike, which I do not wish anyone really. If the seat post for the world does not want to come out of the frame, you must be prepared for anything. Farewell to the bracket is likely, but perhaps because of my poradom will at least save the frame. It all depends on the material from which it is made seatpost and frame, causes seizure, and the time in which it happened. Reasons deadlock may be many, but the most common are water, mud, and pressing the frame seat post with a large diameter. Remember that this repair is associated with the risk of damage to the equipment. If you do not feel up to it, take the bike for a good bike mechanic, especially if the frame is made of carbon fiber.
Before turning to methods to draw seatpost from the frame, let's start from scratch or ways to protect yourself erfweiler against seizure. This tip will be useful to the problem did not show up again. The most important thing is keeping erfweiler the seat post and the inside of the frame tubes clean, especially if a lot of driving in the area. The stem must be removed from time to time, well clean with a clean cloth, just as it is good to wipe the inside of the tube of the frame, so as far as possible. If you are driving in the rain, it is also the ejection seat post, turn the bike upside down, that flowed water could be collected in the frame.
Before inserting the seat post back to the frame, a very good idea to lubricants its preparation against scorched. In the video below showing the preparation Shimano, but other companies also have the paste on offer. If you have a carbon fiber seat post, you probably know that this material is quite slippery and requires the use of a special assembly paste for carbon fiber. Definitely worth using the paste, especially if you have an aluminum frame and carbon saddle bracket. Such prepared frame and seat post can almost 100% guarantee that nothing is sealed there.
Let's get down to the facts or ways to draw seatpost. Start with the delicate erfweiler ways, and use a hammer pounding grinder time yet to come :) repair start loosening the seat post clamp. If you have a steel frame and a steel bracket saddle, seat post, try to pour ammonia. Remember that ammonia is an irritant, so these things it is good to do it on the air. Some also recommend pouring Coke or WD-40 - Well, it does not hurt to try, just do not put it all at once. The treated seat post, leave for a few hours, and then try to remove it. If you do not want to go out you can try to turn the seat to the side. On the internet you can find many accounts of people erfweiler who poured example. WD-40 or kerosene for several days in a row. So too can try, especially erfweiler since it is the least invasive erfweiler and ultimately can be successful. In my opinion, if the seatpost is very hard baked, it is worth spending some time and just try this method.
If greasing seatpost does not work, you can try high / low temperature. Materials heat and cold, expansion or contraction, which may make it easier to remove the seatpost. For this purpose, it is best to use a hair dryer and ice or CO2 pump, but also read about someone who used a powder extinguisher (although this just do not recommend). From the warm-up you have to be careful erfweiler not to destroy even the paint on the frame.
If you stuck seatpost Carbon steel frame or aluminum frame dryer warm the place where the seat post. The pipe should extend the framework, which can help to draw the seat post. If you are using aluminum seatpost and jammed in the frame of the Carboniferous, you will need to cool the seat post. For this purpose, the entire contents of the cartridge Let CO2 seat post at the point where it enters the frame. You can also use a bunch of ice cubes to put it in a plastic bag. There is a chance that the seatpost to shrink and allow to pull out of the frame. If the seat post and the frame is made of the same material at the same time try to freeze the seat post and warm vertical tube of the frame.
I hope that one of the ways listed above helped you. If not, consider erfweiler again whether to give a framework for a good bike mechanic. erfweiler If you plan to continue alone to deal with it, there are several ways. For this you need a few tools.
Remove the seat, remove the wheels, it would be also unscrew the damper, steering wheel and chain, so as not to interfere. Position the top of the seat post in a decent vise. Unfortunately, in this way is likely to damage the bracket, but still better than the destruction of the frame. Try again warmed / cooled seat post, then start spinning frame. erfweiler You have to do it with a sense because if seatpost sits really hard, you can bend or make the frame burst. Again, I recommend erfweiler patience, if it can not be unlocked at the first attempt, you may want to do again, treatment with kerosene or special preparation seized screws. I p
