My seatpin has fallen apart! A few weeks ago, I was trying to take my seatpin out of the frame of my turbo bike (that old chestnut!), and when I twisted the saddle, I noticed that it turned without the seatpin moving... It's been a bit wobbly since, until it came completely apart as I sat down after a sprint effort this morning.

Is Araldite going to be up to a job like this? It's at the right height, so I don't mind if the repair isn't sufficient to ever get the seatpin out (forcibly twisting the saddle might break the new bond).

Just replacing the seatpin is an option, but only if I fly-press the tube because there's nothing to grip as it is. Then, I'd be banking on being able to get it out of the frame, which is by no means certain (because I'm an idiot and I probably haven't re-greased my seatpin for 20 years!)

Get a new seat post. Drill the old one and put some bar across it to give leverage.
