related problem, different bike.

My felt AR2 (old model) had a stuck seatpost. I managed to hit it down but it couldn't come back up!

Took me ages, I ended up taking the seatpost clamp off and it still wouldn't budge so I lubed it up using some WD40

Took a mallet and whacked my saddle from the bottom up and it eventually budged back up. Then put a little silicon grease on the post. Was a total pain in the arse
