Good day sir, the saddle clamp twists in relation to the seatpost. Not seatpost in relation to the bike frame, but the saddle(and saddle clamp) twists in relation to the seatpost. I think i gotta buy a new seatpost but im going ahead and ask the expert first. So, should i buy a new one or can it be fixed? The allen screw is tight so the saddle is firm on the saddle clamp. The seat post is also firm on the bike frame. The connecting point between the clamp and the seatpost is what is twisting. I been doing bicycle without hands an awful lot and i can turn left and right by changing my body weight and all that body weight changing left and right has made this part of the bike twist when it was not supposed to do that 😅
@@parktoolThanks for the quick response and professional advice @parktool ! I'll buy another seatpost. Luckily there's a lever to remove it so it won't be that hard. I noticed that there are some seatposts on the market that are one body seatpost and saddle clamp instead of being fitted in. Im thinking that maybe this type will suit me better since it won't twist/rotate since its one body. I find your videos very informational, i changed freewheel and did the truing on my own thanks to your videos. You guys are THE BEST 💖
I recently acquired a 1990s Raleigh Max MTB with a 25.4 mm seat post. Some research suggested this was the correct size for the frame but it kept slipping down and was too loose in the seat tube before clamping. . I think the quick release collar it was using had been overtightened over the years and this had misshapen and/or enlarged the opening in the top of the seat tube. I went for a new post of 25.8mm and this fitted like a glove. I actually dislike the quick release collars as I think they are misused,not maintained and are overtightened by a lot of owners who lack knowledge and mechanical sympathy.
I was too distracted by that one super long eyebrow hair hanging in front of Calvin's eye. How he shot a whole video and never fixed that is beyond me.
Very, very helpful video! Thank you so much for this! Greetings from Poland! :)
Would appreciate a video on setting up hydraulic brake with new hoses, olives+hose prep, best way to setup to minimize air, etc.
3:46 what is this tool?

A new post is suggested but getting your current one out will likely be a challenge.

A video on how to remove a seized dropper post from a carbon frame would be much appreciated.
Just you wait.

It simply gravitates towards the 'stache and wants to be a part of it. I don't think that's something he can control.
