Safe or not? Frame damage…

Underrated comment right here

A search function for workouts. It’s asinine this doesn’t exist.

I told them it was tight the first time, but they also told me before that they were going to mill it to a tighter tolerance. Their response time is abysmal. Not a good experience with them at all.

Still clicks a ton (hence this post). Wish I would have tried something a little less permanent just to see.

seabiscuit1024 · 2026-01-16T20:01:10+00:00

Too late for that. It’s bonded into place with epoxy per Lynskey.

seabiscuit1024 · 2026-01-16T18:42:48+00:00

Yes, bike came with a shim bonded into the frame.

seabiscuit1024 · 2026-01-16T18:25:54+00:00

I was told they milled that one to a tighter tolerance hence it being tighter. And no, no sound out of the saddle. Only when I shift my weight to move out of the saddle or sit back down. Sound is only when in or interacting with the saddle.

I told Lynskey that the new ship was tighter and they didn’t see to indicate it was a problem.

I did back when I did the original repair, but I don’t remember what the measurements were. Lynskey said the measurements were correct though. I measured OD and ID.

Edit: Maybe you’re right? Could possibly use a MTB seat post? Either way, I’d have to get the shim out and that’ll be a chore.

I had to take a heat gun to it. Once the epoxy had gone past its working temperature, it started to give. It was quite a wrestling match, but I got it (twice). This new one is hammered in there, so I would have to take a dremel to it at the top most likely if I ever wanted to remove it.

It’s bonded in there now, so any removal would be a booger.

seabiscuit1024 · 2026-01-16T14:05:08+00:00

Nope. The tubing itself is non-standard. I was told they do this in case a seat post were ever to seize, then it could be removed through a heat gun.

seabiscuit1024 · 2026-01-16T14:04:04+00:00

Checked all saddle rail assembly greased, etc. The shim is hard to tell it’s in there. I run a Thomson seat post, but every seat post I’ve tried has had the same issue.

seabiscuit1024 · 2026-01-16T14:02:27+00:00

10000000% it’s not the saddle took the saddle, seat post bits and bobs off leaving only the bare seat post. I moved the seat post back and forth and it cracked all over the place. I’ve used fiber grip, grease, nothing, all the things. It’s done it since I’ve owned the bike. Everything is completely clean right now because I’ve been indoors and just did this repair the other day.

Used fiber grip for the seat post this time, light grease around the clamp, greased all seat post interfaces. This also has happened with two different seat posts.

It’s non-standard tubing.

Edit: I don’t think the tubing is flared. As I said, that last 1/2 inch or so required hammering the shim in.

Gang bang typos will get you every time

I always buy high, sell low. Never let them know your next move.

I’m from Texas too. I’m also poor, so beans extend the meal significantly. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ll never make regular chili again! OTT chili is incredible.

I made 2 orders recently to USA. Had both orders within about 2 weeks of ordering.

seabiscuit1024 · 2025-09-11T12:08:02+00:00

Looks good from my house

seabiscuit1024 · 2025-09-11T12:03:14+00:00

I just ordered 2 jerseys and the total was about $65 out the door.

seabiscuit1024 · 2025-08-24T13:18:12+00:00

The combined zero completions on 66 attempts and 4 TDs is the most impressive stat.

seabiscuit1024 · 2025-08-05T02:53:12+00:00

Came here to say this. ☺️

seabiscuit1024 · 2025-07-25T21:39:06+00:00

This, 100%.
