You have to take the pre-load up on the spring as you assemble it.</p> <p>They normally come apart through the bottom end, precisely to prevent this from happening. Happy to have a look next time you're passing. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19638#post-308055 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 10:54:29 +0000 Frenchy 308055@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I noticed the suspended seatpost on my bike was wobbly the other day and when I gave it a wee shake, it came apart completely (see photo).</p> <p>Does anyone know if fixing it is simply a case of shoving the seat down and screwing it back together? It looks like that's the case, but it'd take a bit of force to shove it far enough in, and I don't want to make anything worse.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/2g7W9uV"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47992507677_0d04c40d43.jpg"></a> </p>
