So I guess those bike are on at least their third forum owner. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19637#post-308071 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 13:30:05 +0000 SRD 308071@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>(can anyone else claim to own a bike that's been owned by 3 CCE-ers!?) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19637#post-308070 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 13:29:22 +0000 SRD 308070@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks Arellcat. </p> <p>odd that it's been fine for 5+ years? </p> <p>maybe @smudge did something clever to it that has finally worn off? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19637#post-308061 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 11:42:53 +0000 Arellcat 308061@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I had that problem too, SRD. I think I used to try to keep the shim as clean and grease-free as possible on the inside (for the seatpost) but to lightly grease it on the outside (for the frame) to stop it squeaking.</p> <p>It might be worth trying an alternative approach à la Brompton, where the shim is loosely glued into the frame. You could perhaps degrease it and the frame thoroughly and then run some hot glue under the lip of the shim (avoiding the cutout) and squish it down. It might hold it enough. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19637#post-308052 Mon, 03 Jun 2019 10:32:58 +0000 SRD 308052@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone have experience with Dahon folder seat posts? </p> <p>The inner 'cuff' on mine (between the seat post and the seat tube) keeps riding up/not reseating itself. </p> <p>This makes it difficult (and greasy) to fold bike quickly/neatly and sometimes make it unrideable as seat post can't be clamped in place. </p>
