  • And if there's not enough room for coke can, you could try the hairspray trick.

    Get the cheapest, nastiest hairspray you can find, mask off your seatpost at the correct height (leaving the bit that will be in the frame exposed) and give it a few coats, letting it dry off in between. Should take less than 10 mins and give you a surprising amount of extra purchase.

  • Thank you! I’ll try the hair spray thing!
    It’ll probably work fine but what puzzles me is why the problems occur when all seem to be in spec. That’s why I figured the beefy max seat lug might be known to cause these issues.
