  • They used heat in the end

    How long did they try with acid? I had a frame soaking for about a week until the post disintegrated. Did mash the paint up a bit. But definitely not as much as the heat has though.

  • They originally said they would "melt it out" and it would mess up the paint which I guessed had to mean acid of some sort. Perhaps Mercian were meaning 'melt' as in heat.

    In some Youtube videos there are quite messy versions of dissolving the post depending on how people go at it. Nice one for handling it yourself, I didn't trust it not to go badly.

    Thanks @jBola!

  • Mine was on a 90s MTB I found on the street. Nothing to lose. In the end it worked out ok. Wouldn't have tried it for the first time on a bike like yours.
