Seized seat post clamp: advice?
I've just acquired myself a Klein Mantra frame - to be precise, this one
URL:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3667944572 to experiment with. I've got a few wee problems I need to sort before I can get it going. The most serious is that the seat post clamp has an allen bolt rather than a quick release, and at some point someone has used the wrong size allen key and rounded off the flats. The bolt is also jammed and I can't turn it. I'm tempted to take an angle grinder and slice through the bolt, but I can't tell whether the seat tube clamp is integral with the frame or not. If it is I would look bloody stupid because I would then have a seized thread in there I would have no way of getting out. Does anyone know for a fact whether the seat tube clamp on a Mantra is integral? -- (Simon Brooke) http://www.jasmine.org.uk/~simon/ ;; Life would be much easier if I had the source code. |
