A warning on pipe-cutters
I use a pipe cutter and have noticed a very slight flaring on the Cro-Mo posts that I use. I have had no problems with a bit of filing but have never used an aluminum post. For unstucking a seatpost I would suggest checking out Sheldon Bown's page '15 Ways To Unstick a Seatpost' (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/stuck-seatposts.html). -- saskatchewanian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

A warning on pipe-cutters
uhh i have had this problem, but from the frame warping at the bottom and/or bending ... never the seatpost... i never had a problem w/ my steel frames unless there was a little rust or something... that said, last time i got my seatpost out of my DX it took a 3' long 2x4 and a curb. -- skrobo Unicycle For Christ 'MY VIDEOS' (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=skroboskim) 'World Record' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oig5IEq-v4Y) "dude when i first got into this sport and saw one of you videos i almost threw up it was so sick" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ skrobo's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/12272 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Yeah when I had that problem I would just hold the saddle and push as hard as I could with my legs on the crown of the frame. That should help. -- uniaddict Any bay area riders up for a ride PM me!

A warning on pipe-cutters
It especially sucks, though, when your frame snaps and you cant just hop sif to get it out.

A warning on pipe-cutters
When I got my KH36. I was down at Bedfords picking it up, and when he was trimming the post for me, he used a pipe cutter, and it was very hard to get into the stem, actually we couldn't get it to. But once we got some grease around the post it slipped in and out really nice. If your going to use a pipe cutter, I recommend grease (not just some little spray lubricant, kinda like a gel, i'm not sure exactly what it's called) That's my advice, Isaac -- isaac steiner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ isaac steiner's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13943 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Only problem is you have to remember that the post is all greasy every time you take it out so that you don't stain your clothes. You're still bound to stain your hands. I may have to try that or file down my post now. -- peleschramm http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=peleproductions unicycle for atheism and Spencer. www.bedfordunicycles.ca ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peleschramm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14077 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

A warning on pipe-cutters
I had the same problem with my KH Alum SeatPost! At UNICON I used Lars pipe-cutter... Me and Miles cutted, but it got stucked... We used a little but of water and roated the seatpost a lot... Be aware! Maybe you scratched your seat tube, and maybe you have little aluminium pieces between the seatpost and the seat tube... Remove the seat tube and clean it! Here when I arrived I used Kitchen Soap and worked fine... Anyway, my seatpost do not looks good... For my luck I use it all the way down! -- pedrotejada *BUT* Brazilian Unicycling Team Add me on 'FaceBook' (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1284254657) Add me on 'MySpace' (http://www.myspace.com/pedrotejada) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pedrotejada's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14471 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/73116 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

A warning on pipe-cutters
I think you might be onto something Ken (and others). You've got me wondering if I'll ever be able to get the seatpost out of my KH36 again. I had trouble getting the seatpost into the frame following KH seatpost amputation via a pipe cutter. After much filing in went in without grease. I hope it'll come out. Fingers crossed.
