The problem is in the title.
Bike is maybe 5 years old... frequently lent until about a year ago, so clamp often loosened and seat reaised or lowered.
Not touched for the past year. It's a Campagnolo carbon seat post in an italian aluminium frame... and it is a totat sod to move.
I'm lowering it for my youngest to graduate onto a 52cm frame... I've never seen one stuck like this before (apart from metal on metal when they corrode).
I don't want to get heavy with the carbon or the aluminium... I've moved it enough for junior to ride the bike, but it hardly rotates and is a complete sod to wrench up or down.
Is this normal? How do I address it in a way that doesn't threaten the slightly soppy materials the bits are made of?
