Seat Post Sucks - Elina UL

(1/4) > >>

punkdSICO:
Ahh!!  My blimmin Elina UL seat post slips back down into the frame after a few mins riding.  I weight 74kg so not exactly heavy.  I do the clamp up as tight as I dare.

Do seat posts come in slightly different diameters?  Are there any tricks to giving them a little more staying power (grip).

PS: I will be getting ride of it but need a short terms solution..

Cut a coke (or beer) can into strips and use then as shim's between post/frame/clamp etc etc

It's easier if you cut the coke can horizontally as well

Great tip!!  Unfortunately I dont have any empty beer cans but maybe I can pop to the offee and buy half a dozen..   :D

One other tip.........if you drink the 6 cans get an adult to supervise the "can cutting"  >:D

And heed the words of the legendary Norm Abram...

Feck!!  So, I got about a postage stamps worth of can down my shaft, and although it is a lot better, its still slowly lowering.  Anymore suggestions?

Thinking of trying bulimia to keep my Elina from slipping..  Anyone know of any good bulimia forums?

ta,

Paul
