If there is something cycle workshop related you would like to see or have any ideas for a video let me know in the comments below! 👍🏻🚲🛠
That's a wonderful solution. The DI2 battery probably had something to do with the excessive corrosion. I've heard of Gallium being poured into the works and dissolving the aluminum post. I just left the stuck seatpost in when I restored, restromodded my steel classic and powder coated the whole frame. New decals were printed from the scanned originals. It fits me because I knew something back when I was 19, 45 years ago. Bought it face to face from Dave Moulton in the early years of his career. Got the handwritten invoice!
I have never seen a seatpost that had to be removed with a hydraulic press before. That's wild. I'd definitely be replacing that one with a carbon fiber seatpost.
Amazing contraption for pulling a stuck post. Great work!
Thanks!
Videos like this give me life, thank you
Thanks for the comment & positivity 👍
Yes, galvanic interaction has occurred.
I have a bike with same issue. I was thinking this video can help me to remove it, and now it is obviously conceive me to just leave it, and it's in the correct position anyway.
Sometimes you can get them out if their not to corroded by flipping the bike upside down & through a bottle cage bolt squirt a nice amount of 'Plus Gas' or another penertrating oil. Leave it to soak for a few days & give it tap in all directions with a hammer then give it a good twist & pull. Hope that may help.👍
@@NorfolkCycleWorkshop Sure i will try it. I just got a pulling hammer and i will try it first, to put in lots of WD-40 first and the pulling hammer should possible to do it. If not then i will try your method.
Give 'Plus Gas' or 'Penetranting fluid' by WD40 specialist range a go. They are miles better than regular wd40 that doesn't really do much apart from remove water.
@@NorfolkCycleWorkshop Ok i will try to find specialist range of WD40 a try. Regular 40 not really help, although i am sure i have plenty of gap that these fulid can reach deep inside. I got this frame brand new just 1 year age, it's renold 520 steel and I put on an aluminum seat post. Cannot belive it can just lock in with one year time.
Nice work! Good to see how a prowith the right tools does it.
Thanks 👍, if you can't find the right tools sometimes you have to make them. Plenty more removal videos on my Insta & YT
Copper slip would help here. Any regreasing annually
Shows what happens with no grease on the post to lol
A little bit of grease goes a long way! 👍
Thats called galvanic corrosion, grease will not help. Al seat post with SS frame cannot go together.
What is holding the bike frame... A bar through the BB shell? Did you spray anything in from the top or bottom?
It's held through the BB shell with some spacers I machined up & a very high tensile bar 👍
Oh and I always soak in 'Plus Gas' for a day or two. From top & bottom
@@NorfolkCycleWorkshop cheers. That reminds me... I must remove the aluminium seat posts from my 2 steel bikes every so often!
