	15 Ways to Unstick a Seatpost
		There are two possible reasons: The seatpost may be stuck mechanically, for instance by being the wrong size and having been forced in; or, the problem may be chemical, caused by corrosion.
		Unfortunately, many seatposts will not lend themselves to this approach, because the saddle clamp may be pressed or bonded to the tubular part of the seatpost, and the joint isn't designed to withstand such force.
		The torch technique is worse than useless when you are dealing with an aluminum seatpost stuck in a steel or titanium frame, because aluminum expands twice as much as steel, and 2 1/2 times as much as titanium for the same increase in temperature.

		One of the seatpost's jobs is to provide a pillar for the saddle to rest firmly on, the other is less seen, and often un-noticed by casual riders.
		The seatpost is the object that makes this hollow seat tube "solid", which is why the diameter of the seatpost is so important it is measured in tenths of a millimeter.
		The useful area of a seatpost, as a practical matter, extends from the center of the saddle rails to the bottom of the seatpost, that still maintains the desired outer diameter, which may not necessarily be the bottom.

		A seatpost won't change your life or anything..unless you agonize over the two-bolt vs. one-bolt stuff.

		I've used one before in the seatpost and have one installed on my quill adapter/stem.

	Bike Seatpost Keeps Slipping Down
		At first I had medium torque on the seatpost lever, and then when the seatpost kept slipping into the tube I even got out the allen wrench and added more torque after having closed the lever, so it is at the maximum torque without going so far as to worry about stripping the screw.
		The seatpost is tight enough such that when I attempt to pivot the saddle to the left or right, it won't budge, yet it has these problems when I hit bumps, etc.
		It is possible that the frame and seatpost were manufactured to the extreme tolerances and you just need a slightly larger post or need to add a shim.

	Re: Carbon Seatpost
		The seatpost instructions say to grease the post.
		I thought carbon posts were NOT supposed to be greased - that they are slippery enough and hard to hold in place just the way they are.
		elsewhere?) suggested using linseed oil for "greasing" carbon fiber seatposts -- it sounded like a good idea to me because a natural vegetable oil "plasticizes" as it dries; but, the bond layer will certainly be thin and should not be unbreakable when the time comes to remove/adjust the post.

	New Seatpost (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The wider the seatpost you get the stiffer it is. Also the bigger the diameter of the seatpost the less likely it is to slip due to the bigger contact area between the post and the seat tube.

		I've a couple of seatposts going, I came back home to louth today to find the garage burnt to a crisp, my sisters mountain bike, well lets just say the wheels need truing and it could do with some paint.
