Can't get my seat post in!!!!!!!!!!

<< < (2/2)

don't belt it in mate! sometimes the tube may suffer from the welding. get a fine rat tail file and clean up the inside of the tube around where the welds are. then make sure you get the filings out (compressed air) and spray some fish oil (or rust preventative) in there. it stinks for a while but it will definetly stop any rust from starting.
