Hi all
Well here is my current issue's
I have 2 road bikes that state from the company they use a 27.2mm seat posts

ON my 1st bike(Scattante CFR ) the seat post was stuck to the point where the only way to remove it was to twist it off in the process I damaged it a little in terms of looks.
now I can get the seatpost back in but it does not just slide in easy with out a bit of force ,I did try to open up the top where the seat post clap is at but it didnt help now I used some grease ( I know I know a big mistake and I cleaned it all up now ) and when I did the sestpost did go in much more easy ,I purchased a new 27.2mm seat post to replace this one but it also does not slide in easy as well.

on my 2nd bike(build) A Orbea orca frame 2006 Im having the same issue, only thing is I cant get the seat post in past about 1 " or less and I dont want to force the seatpost in.


What to do
