ORB:
Yes they are (most) apart from the obvious tuff and pro neck.

I recon you will struggle to get it removed and reseated.

I would not trust a stem that has been fettled like that.

mivvi:
Yea, know what you mean. Don't have one to do, just something that crossed my mind a while back. I expect they are splined also? Well I didn't know the Tuff necks were removable, will move up to these fine items one day!

aditup:
I have drilled out a siezed post before, but beware of broken wrists whilst trying to hang on the "big mamma" drill you need to turn a 22mm drill bit. If the frame is going for recoat, heat is the only option. Hold the post in the vice, heat the tube, and use the frame for leverage. ALL POSTS WILL COME OUT, just sometimes at a cost. The frames no good with it stuck in, so what you got to loose? Ad

sawzall:
you can drill seat post out without killing the frame i did one for darren on a rickman he had ,took a few hours on a piller drill but worth it in the end just use lots of cutting compound

--- Quote from: mivvi on September 23, 2005, 11:59 AM ---Problem I have had is cleaning the rust and shit build up from inside the tube, once the post is removed. A dremil reaches all of 1" inside, I even bought a flexi drill chuck thingy but its still too big to fit down the tube. Any advice lads!   :D

Roll a FULL sheet of FINE emery paper round a long piece of 15mm copper tube or similar. Perfect for clearing all that irritating shite that siezes the seat post in. Spray the emery paper with WD40 to achieve better results too

Works wonders  ;)
