CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!
CCE is 15years old!
Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not resolvedI 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).
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.
It should be, yes. You have to take the pre-load up on the spring as you assemble it.
They normally come apart through the bottom end, precisely to prevent this from happening. Happy to have a look next time you're passing.

Can you explain that a bit more?

Thanks - hoping to avoid going anywhere on this bike till it has a functioning seat again, though.
As in the spring is in a semi-compressed state without the rider's weight on it.
So you have to push the whole thing hard together while screwing the collar tight.
