Stuck seatpost couldn’t be removed. Wasn’t particularly keen on cutting it out so I chopped and slotted it and used the chopped tube of the old seatpost as a shim for the 25mm USE seatpost. The fit is satisfyingly snug and I’m happy I don’t have to put in more work.
I had to do this a 5 years ago with a Hot Tubes and a frozen ti seatpost. I was pleasantly sup-prized that the wall thickness of the Ti post was 1.1mm allowing me to run a 25mm DA seatpost. Some messenger in Boston is still running it.
