Video

I wished I had watched this video before I started to swap out the seat. Anyway, just bought a used Specialized Ruby, but for this particular seatpost clamp, I had no idea that I shouln't be completely taking out the hex nut. As a result, the wedge thingy has fallen into the frame. I was able to chase it around the tubes innitially, but now it's wedged, Stuck, SILENCED even when I violently shake the bike. I guess I'm going to have to open up the bottom bracket. **arrgh**

Fantastic video and it work. Saved me going to a bike mechanic.

Got me a used one this week. Lucky me finding your reel before going nuts. Along with a little bit WD40 you saved my day!! Thank you!

Worked a treat. Thanks!

Brilliant video, massive help especially as I watched it before I started😊😊😊

Bravo! That worked - spent a day trying to get the seat out!

You saved my life! HOURS fighting!

This man saved my life

Thank you for posting this. I was going to take to bike shop but tried this and it worked.

Oh huge thanks for this! It worked perfectly. I didn't think it did at first because on the outside nothing obvious had changed, but my seatpost was able to move much more freely.

Genius! Worked like a charm

Thank you so much 🎉

You literally saved me hours of frustration and thousands of euros...

This video was super helpful. Seeing the mechanism holding the seat post into the frame was key in figuring how to loosen it and get the seat post out. You saved me a lot of time and energy. Thanks for the video.

This has to be the best video that exists on CZcams

Another option... Once the bolt is loosened as far as it can go, without it detaching from the wedge, try giving the seat a good firm twist from side to side rather than trying to pull it up.

Great video, straight to the point and it worked instantly. Thanks

You deserve some kind of humanitarian award for this video mate. Just loosen that hex screw a bit and then a gentle tap on top (I used the end of a screwdriver) and voila!

I tried tapping but got no luck. Holding the triangle and putting forward pressure to the seat, I got a pop and the seat post happily slid out.

Honest question, does everyone with this style of wedge lock have this issue?

Late to the conversation here, but you're doing the Lord's work. Thank you!

You saved my day!! Thanks

'PromoSM' 😝

Great tip. Worked at first attempt on my Liv Avow. Thank you.

I think you saved me hours of frustration. Found your video and boom. It worked. Thank you so much.

Great tip! How do you reinstall this damn thing?

You speak so fast while you are surrounded by so many noises. Do you really want to be listened to ?

What did you use to help it loosen it up. I’ve tried hitting the bolt with a hammer. I’m being careful when hitting it with a hammer. Did you use some liquid to help loosen it up? I’ve tried 3-in-1d oil. Any ideas?

Legendary ... "Knowing where to knock." The whole family hugs when after the pin drops in after the knock.

Didn’t work for me. Tapped sharply a number of times and the wedge actually loosened but the seat post remains stuck fast. Will have to think of something else.

Perfect! Excellent video. Yes, it is that simple. Also, if it helps, when I tapped the wedge/clamp, I heard a click from the wedge/clamp -- as if I had knocked something loose -- and it turned out that that was the sound that told me my seat post was ready to be easily moved.

Many thanks for this. New bike (well new to me), Bianchi Outré XR4, and could not budge the seatpost until following your instuctions. A firm tap with a small hammer on the partially unscrewed bolt released the clamp :0)

Thank you!

You my friend, are a champion, Thank YOU!

You're a legend! Thanks so much for making this vid!!!

For all the clowns talking about range of motion, the only thing you need to do to improve cycling power is improve neuromuscular power in your legs. This can be trained from so many different types of exercises, and then converted to cycling specific muscle after, when riding. The range of motion specifically targets muscles that CAN help with your power and core, but are not essential., because you can supplement them using other exercises, or more importantly, through riding, which is by far the best training anyway.

Oh my..... you are my God!!!!!! thank you!!!

omg thankyou😂😂

It didn't work on my Giant TCR Advance. Knocked many times still jammed...

legend, that worked immediately!

Excellent advice worked first time after months of trying to adjust seat post. Now adjusted my knees will be thankful. Thanks

Thank you so much 👍👍👍

Great captions translation: "hi guys is Tommy a moussaka enthusiast I'm from fizzy and Engadine..."

You are my hero

what to do when a part of my damaged bolt is left inside. i accidentally over torqued mine and the bolt head just fell off.

My go to post stretches.

Thank you so much. Ingenious solution.
