|   Weird seatpost dilemma....... | Blue 'Goose
Aug 4, 2003 4:59 AM | | So Saturday I take my Epic over to Lebanon Hills (Eagan,
Minnesota, don't you know....pictures forthcoming) and
ran into a curious dilemma I've not experienced before..
As I was climbing up a hill I noticed my seatpost gradually
lowering while I was on a climb. All by itself despite being
clamped.
I get to the top of the hill and the seat is super low like
a BMX or downhill type seat.
I look carefully and there's grains of sand all over the
seatpost collar and seatpost (did I lay it down for a second?
I honestly can't remember doing that).
I remove the seat and brush the sand off the post and look down
the hole and get rid of any linger grains of sand and reinstalled
and off I went.
Anyone run into this before? Weird. Aliens? |

Aug 4, 2003 5:16 AM | | I recently moved from the Twin Cities area to South Dakota, but I happened to be back in the area and decided to hit a trail just west of Minneapolis (Camp Manitou in Monticello). This is the second season riding my 1x1 and I've never had a problem with seat post slippage. Upon completing my ride I noticed the post had slipped a good 2 inches. Well I've been back in South Dakota for a couple of weeks and the seat post issue seems to be resolved. Humidity? Aliens? I don't know, there's something strange going on over there in Minnesota. |

Just reclamped and carried on, forgot about it until you just reminded me ! Weird.....

Aug 4, 2003 6:36 AM | | ..in Stockton, Aliens have been abducting Specialized Enduro's and take them to their space ships. There they remove the seatpost, stick a---- probes down inside them and do weird experiments. They then remove their memories and return them to their riders. Mulder and Scully have been notified and are coming. A rash of flat tires have been reported in Bakersfield. Film at eleven.....
