I've got a nice steel frame and been using carbon seatposts for the last 5 years. A couple of years ago I noticed the seatpost being harder and harder to get out and that there seems to be some roughness in the seat tube. It's not rust, rather a rough inside of the tube and a lot of carbon dust.
I've just had to remove the seatpost for travel and it took about half an hour and all of my physical (and mental) strength. I'm worried I won't ever get the seatpost out if I put it back in (if I do get it in in the first place).
Is reaming the seat tube going to fix this? If not, what would? Cheers!
