(SOLVED! )Stuck Felt IA seatpost...
Hello

I've been searching for answer on the web for a week and Now I give up and came here to get some advice...

My Felt is 2020 IA disc advanced model and it came with a post which is really hard to adjust...

Last month I got my saddle swapped so I had to change the saddle height.. but it is completely stuck!

(the silicon cover is completely removed before. So there's no need to worry about that silicon noodle being stuck)

I did

1. spraying WD40

2. utilising thermal expansion (I heated seat tube with a hairdryer. This worked last time)

3. using my powerful quad and lateral dorsal muscles to pull it out

and nothing worked.

Does anybody have similar problem and any possible solutions?

UPDATE: I did it! 2022. 7. 26.

Thank you guys I finally made it. I was in hurry so I could no get PB thingy some users recommended but I implemented "the bottom up strategy".

1. I put off the wheels, crankset and R derailleur and flipped the bike upside down.

2. I opened the small port (this is for the access to the di2 battery) and squirted plenty of WD40 and I could see some liquid flowing through the minute space between the post and seat tube.

3. I removed my saddle and clamping appratus then I put a monkey spanner (covered with thick fabric to protect the post) into a hole for saddle clamps to use it as a "stepper"

4. I laid on the floor and held chain stays and down tube with my hands and put my feet on the spanner.

5. Pulling with my rigorously trained lats and Pushing with my THICC quad altogether and Voila! the post is now free.

6. Thank you all the twitchers who gave me priceless tips and wisdom. I do love you guys...

Stay home, stay healthy.
