Had to remove a stuck seat post.
I tried everything, until I gave up and tried to cut it out with a hacksaw.

It was not as easy as I was led to believe.
I got almost five hours into it.



A twelve inch hacksaw blade was just long enough.
And the Sawzall blades were to wide to fit inside the tube.






The old seat post was 27.2 MM.

I have quite a few post in different sizes.
One was marked seven dollars, so I'm going with that value.

I found a post that's maybe to short that's 27.2 mm,
and a long post that's 27 mm.
Went with the longer 27mm.
When for a test ride. Instead of avoiding all the bumps in the road preserving
my rotting tires, I hit all the bumps to see if the narrower post would stay in place.

Got a flat.
