grrrr.
having real issues with this at the moment, iw as off sick yesterday and by the afternoon i was bored out of my mind and ive been desperate to get my seatpost out as its been stuck and slightly wonky for nearly a year.
Stupidly decided against the coca-cola option and went straight for sawing as i dont have the tool to remove BB etc, and wanted to be able to ride to work today.
so gopt down to sawing, sawed through the seatpost about an inch over the top of the seatpost, and began to saw a slit down one side, got through that and then tryed to peel it inwards, only for that bit of the eatpost to snap off having stghtly seprated from the seat tube, did this another 2 tims and now have about a quarter of the seatpost remaining and about 1/2 cm of the psot peel of round the other 3/4 of the seat tube.
dont want to risk the last bit as i'd be left with no leverage to get the post out the rest of the way, im aware that fauilure thus far is probably due to me no sawing through enough of the seat post thus far.
so im thinking my next option is to get hold of the tools to remove my crankset and BB seal the gapeing hole that is the remainder of the seat post and pour in some cola, do i have a chance?
and can anyone in S-east london lend me the requisite tools to remove campag record cranks and a centaur bottom bracket?
