Basically, do you have to completely remove the bolts and disassemble the seat mount entirely, or should you be able to remove the seat without this? Is there a trick that I’m missing? I just can’t figure it out, sorry! 🙁

Angle grinder and dynamite.

Tis the only way…

It’s basically a wrench, swear and yank till it bends or take it all apart. I have never found that bit the easiest part of the design, it always seems to be loose bits of metal facing the wrong way.

I also find it a pain to get to the allen bolts without somehow managing to scratch the post (this is more likely when the post is new).

Ok then… I thought I was just being dense! nice to hear it’s a bit of a faff for others as well 🙂

Just undo the back bolt all the way, then the lower clamp will fall out and the saddle can be popped off. Easy.

I just undo both bolts. I’ve never been in that much of a hurry to get my saddle off that I’ve needed a quick way to do it.

And how do you manage to scratch the post when doing up the bolts?

When you use a multi tool, like I do 😉 I need to buy some proper tools!
