Gary, on the seatpost. fill the seatpost tube with pb blaster and let it soak for a few days. leave it upside down to allow it to soak.hit it a couple time a day with a dead blow hammer. it will come out with a pipe wrench after a few days.

[@garysprojects]

Cheers homie thanks for the tip! Will try that in the future if I ever get another stuck seatpost 👍

It turned out super cool man👊😄👍 I love watching your grassroots bike builds. I am also a 26er aficionado. I have a fully modern upgraded, (full rigid) 1990 Trek 970 with a venturemax dropbar for mountain climbing/descending (50t cassette/20t chainring) and a (full rigid) 1993 Schwinn Paramount pdg70 sporting FatFranks and 48cm Nitto Noodle dropbar for carving the pavement trails. They both kick butt. I love the maneuverability of the 26ers. Keep up the great work, always have lots of fun✌

[@garysprojects]

Thanks my dude!! Appreciate that. Those bikes sounds awesome - I’ve never tried drops on a mountain bike, how’s it go? I also love the tighter wheelbase of 26ers! Super fun and will do, hoping to make more vids for the future 🤗

[@klunker289]

@@garysprojects I love the drops on these geometry. It is a must to get the bars up&close to you(the trick is the hand position in the drop need to be close to where a flat bar position would be. I use a 70mm 35 degree stem for both bikes with the quill adapter. It gives me so much more control, I can carve the road or offroad like I'm surfing(I love the FatFranks for the road @20/25 lbs pressure). Sorry for rambling on but last thing is the handlebar bag(Chrome DKLEIN) fills the gap in the front and makes it look really badass. Take care mate😚💨👌 46cm & up I would recommend.

[@rhymeswithbombs]

Great video! I really appreciate that you sped up some parts & time-stamped it. For stuck seatposts and other parts, I highly recommend a product called PB Blaster. I've used it with great success. (Completely unaffiliated, just a happy customer.) Then, if you have access to a bench vise, put the seatpost in it (block with wood if you want to try to save it), then use the frame (**with wheels or spare hubs in it to prevent bending anything) as a lever to twist it.

[@garysprojects]

Thank you! Hahah yeah I had to speed up some parts otherwise the video would go on for way too long ! Ahhh yes I’ve heard that PB blaster is awesome. I am not sure if you can easily get it in Australia though. If I find some I will be sure to try it out!! Thanks for the tips on the vice technique appreciate it! Cheers 👍

Hi from Portugal... Some tips *Use a hand dryer to get rid of stickers, put it in the hottest position and normally it came of as a whole. *Seat post release, put a screw at the base of the frame but in a position that does the opposite of tightening so it can open a little gap, and the WB40 and wait a while. And try to take it of with a good leverage and rotation one way. (done that with my giant and I was a walk in the park and it was stuck as hell) *Replacing the shafts and seat post screw alone for newer ones, no need nothing fancy just in aluminium save you 260 grams alone!! *car scratch polisher and brass brush does wonders in rust and with no much effort. *If you want to save old grips without cutting them, just go some place that has a compressed air pistol, put the tip on the inside gap of the grip and normally the almost come out alone Hope you don't mind the tips. Very nice work and budget friendly :) Stay safe Nuno Guerreiro

(PVC tape for wrapping gas pipes might also work for protecting a chain stay.)

[@wsmvolunteers8588]

Awesome job on the Diamondback! I'm impressed with your skill set. I have what I think is a 1986 Ascent with chrome frame. Bought it for $7.50 at thrift store and it's my off road machine. (Limited off road as I am 76 and too fragile for shredding.) You mentioned yours was a 1991. How can I verify the date on mine? I acquired a 1989 Specialized Rock Combo that I'm cleaning up. Not planning to paint it as I like the "patina" it acquired from it's previous owner, a very good friend who bought it new. The aluminum seat post is frozen in the steel frame and my local bike shop couldn't get it free. Fortunately it's the correct height, so I just replaced the plastic seat with an old Brooks and have been riding it as is.

[@garysprojects]

That’s awesome !! I’ve seen db from that era and they look awesome! The only way I check is I google old catalogues online and look through them to confirm through process of elimination.

Diamondback are the lowest priced decent brand with a solid quality groupo on ebay and gumtree. An Ascent was $995 bike in the day. anything above a Topanga has some decent equipment and the frames pre 2000 are bombproof but bit heavy until you get to Ascent, Apex and Axis.
