[Closed] Why's my seatpost so tight to insert?

[#1364869]

Trying to insert a seatpost into my frame, it goes in fine for the first 5-10cm but then gets [i]mucho tighto[/i] and can't be pushed in any further. When I remove the seatpost it's coated with a thin layer of black sticky grease, guessing this might be the culprit? Do I need to clean the seattube out somehow, if so, what with?

cheers ๐Ÿ™‚

Is this a euphemism?

๐Ÿ˜† seriously laughing myself silly re-reading what I typed in light of this comment ๐Ÿ˜†

If it [i]is [/i]a euphemism, how'd you recommend I sort my issue?
