My neighbor, who is an engineer, had laughed at my struggles with a seatpost and suggested the same. I was concerned about damage to the frame/fork? I think of mechanics torquing and pounding on things attached to bulky metal frames, not delicate tubes? How would you secure the frame safely to use a pneumatic hammer?
