I'm using my old Peugeot 10 speed as a trainer. The saddle height is adjusted via a bolt and nut through what is essentially the back end of the top tube that encloses the seat post. Since my wife and I both want to use the trainer, I'd like to come up with a quick release/easy way for us to release/lock the seat post instead of having to use a pliers each time.

Any suggestions are welcome. I've attached a pix of the current arrangment.

Thanks,

Get a seatpost QR, like this one

Hope this helps

It may be possible to replace that nasty bolt with a QR.Would help to have a bunch of them to experiment with.

Well, the current bolt certainly shows the results of using pliers, not a proper fitting wrench. I hope the rest of the bike doesn't look like that.

Actually I beat that bolt up pretty good loosening it. I got this bike when I was in high school; I graduated in 1971! Yeah, it's had a few turns on it. The rest of the bike is in great shape. I have only replaced the rear derailleur and the chain. I am real happy to put it on the trainer as I couldn't just get rid of it!
