How to remove a stuck seatpost in your bike

We remove a stuck seatpost using our famous beast.

That's awesome! I built my machine for my bicycle shop in Brazil and now I can remove easily stuck seatpost. I could do it looking your videos. Thank you 🙏

Interesting video I’ve never had a seized post and don’t grease mine but regularly clean it

[@hookerjl1]

Another great and satisfying removal…well done again! Looking forward to the next one👍🏻😃

thanks for watching and your comments

That’s always fun with proper tools. Cheers.

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Very true

[@markf4968]

Brilliant mechanism!

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Thank you

[@wojciechturek1601]

It’s a brilliant tool I only wonder why would one install too big diameter on frame?

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comment

[@321bytor]

Satisfying! Do you never add any lubrication as the post is pulled out? How have you anchored the frame so that it isn't damaged - especially a carbon frame?

[@mannimix]

Ditto for me on this comment. I was surprised not to see any lubricant or pentrating oil to help ease the friction between the carbon frame and seat post.

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, thanks for watching. Typically when the seatpost is so seized that the customer needs to bring it to us any lubrication is futile as the post is in far too tight for it to make any difference, the forces needed to remove are very high. The frame is anchored through a bottom bracket that we install first.

I’d like pictures and measurements please,I’ve got a friend who’s place of work could make this for me. Great sounds,was like a techno track starting slow to fast 🎉 Have you had to pull any D shaped post like on some of the giant road bikes? Atb John 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comment, never tried a d shaped post, could be tricky that one, I will do some drawings and measurements soon

[@tizer1028]

Any way of preventing the seat post wedging in the first place?

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Plenty of anti seize paste

[@bcr1973.]

An engineering drawing would be good,you could sell them easy enough..

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

I will make some enquiries about getting one done.

[@adellesloan2112]

I'd try that on a stuck seatpost I'd find on an old bike. My neighbor and I will work together, using sprays, a pipe wrench, rubber mallet, and a cheater bar. Wish me luck.

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Good luck

Was the dropper salvaged?

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Yes it was, what a good do

Thanks

And no view of anchoring the frame?.. nice.. That's the most and only important/interesting moment in whole that situation, and you didn't show it..

[@Thecrazyvaclav]

He’s showed all that in previous videos

[@ka81alex]

@@Thecrazyvaclav previous video kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWLLdmaFl8t6d5I has shown a little bit. Ok. So, anchoring at the bottom bracket ??.. Why not at the top of seat tube?..

[@JohnSmith-ox7xc]

@@ka81alex How would you secure it at seattube? If you use a clamp, you're clamping onto the post which you are trying to free. RJ Bikeguy has a seat puller on his channel which I imagine is similar to the one here.

Hi, Thanks for watching, in a previous video I explain more, take a look here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/jIrPqXuOnZl_gLs

Reminder to periodically remove your seatpost to clean and regrease it

[@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic]

Very True
