A Tuesday in April that felt like a whole month of repairs
Last week, we had a single day where seven people brought in bikes with the exact same problem: seized seatposts from winter salt. Every one was a different material combo, aluminum in steel, steel in aluminum, even a carbon post in an aluminum frame. I went through almost a full can of penetrating oil and had to use the bench vise for a slow, careful twist on each one. It took from open at 9am until past 6pm to get them all sorted. Has anyone else had a weirdly specific problem just show up in bulk like that?
