• I would try some WD40 before going nuclear with caustic soda. Flip the bike upside down and spray a liberal amount in the seattube from the BB or dropper cable routing hole if there is one. leave it for a few hours and then try pulling again.

  • Penetrating fluid is better imo. But not sure of the effects on carbon fiber.

    @Jakub96 have you tried dry ice? If you have a supplier near by. Or pipe freeze spray can work too. On the metal part but once again not sure what would happen to the carbon.
