What'd be the best way to go about doing this?

There's a set on the seat tube that prevent me from slamming my saddle.

Any ideas?

Thanks

David

Steel? Aluminium?

If it was steel, I'd use the oxy torch to get them out, then put on some stand-off ones so you can still get a bottle on there.

Or cut a slot in your seatpost.

Yeh, I'd considered the slot in the seatpost. Might give that a bash first.

About another 10cms I think.

None of them look right. Doesnt look like you can get your saddle down all the way with one of them.
