  1. Bicycle seat post saga. This did not work to make the tube water tight. Need to make it so lye can dissolve the remaining aluminum. (There are bits of seat post still in this tube). Going to now attempt to plug the holes with a hot glue gun. If it holds water, will dump drain cleaner crystals into the seat post tube. #biketooter #seatpost

    Every year on February 27th (or 27.2mm, get it?) is International #SeatpostDay to show some gratitude to your #bike‍s #seatpost:

    Take it out, clean it and regrease* it!

    (Future You will be thankful for corrosion prevention, too)

    *or whatever adequate lubrication is advisable for your equipment.

  7. I just installed an ncx suntour suspension seat post today on my bike(hard tail). Tested it and I can ride my bike on rough terrain(curb) seated comfortably. However it's kind of weird how I 'bob along' changing the distance between saddle and pedal (one of the advantages of a dual-suspension where the frame is suspended instead of the saddle alone). Going for 120km gravel ride this weekend, which will be a good test and see if I'm happy with it. youtube.com/watch?v=_R2hFZqdiw #cycling #seatpost #suspensionseatpost

  8. Away with the saddle, it's hammertime. Hammer-gently-onto-the-seatpost-time.
    Nothing.

    Ok, time for a larger lever, trying to rotate the cranked/layback seatpost.
    Still nothing.

    Put the bike upside down into the bench vise, squeeze the #seatpost tight and wiggle the whole friggin' frame. And while we're at it, fill more WD-40 through the bottom bracket drainage hole.
    Still NOTHING. It didn't move a friggin' millimeter. (2/4)
