Top Tip to keep muck out of your frame

LordBanks

When i'm out riding, i'm always moving my saddle up and down depending on the terrain. What with living in England, the trails are usually muddy, so everytime i was moving my post up and down, the post was grinding with grit and mud and what not. So, i've cut a bit of old innertunbe, about 3 inches long, put it over the post and now when i'm riding mud-baths, all the mud sticks to the old innertube and not my post.

Good idea, I have the same problem. Do you tie wrap or glue it on?

LordBanks

No mate, just cut abit of the tube, take your seat out the frame and slip the tube over the post, then put it back into the in the frame, abit like, dare i say, a condom :shock:
