Despite all the hot weather we have been having, well some of us maybe, do not forget to check your seatpost has not seized in the frame through corrosion. As a rule I check mine monthly, but I have got slack this past 3 months and today I found that my seatpost on one of my road bikes had seized. Fortunatley it was not too bad, just a lot of penetrating oil and it soon freed up along with about half an hour of twisting to free it from the frame, a quick grease up and its right as rain now.
A quick check now will prevent a nightmare job yourself or a trip to the LBS in the future with more costs.
