I have a 1970 era Zeus with 531 tubing. The seat post (I can only assume original, it is a Zeus post) fits very very tightly. It is a 26.8 seat post. I could try a smaller diameter seat post, but would like to try to sort things out to use the correct seat post.
Would a reamer solve the problem? Or is it more likely due to a distortion that needs to be sorted out in some other way?
Does sanding the post ever work? What is the best technique if it does?
Finally, if reaming does work, that is what I would like to do. Does anyone have a 26.8mm reamer for this that they might want to sell, or loan/rent (I am in the Seattle area). I have never done this task, but would like to learn, rather than bringing it to a shop.
Thanks Dan Kasha Seattle, Wa
