Removed my seat post tonight and it was a bit of a struggle, so I was wondering if anyone had any really quick easy way of cleaning out a seat tube, or am I to continue struggling with a rag wrapped rod. (Easy for you to say)
A free haribo to the first one to say ‘Presure Washer’. Let’s just get that one over with!

Floss

Compressor

Cylindrical wire brush in a drill with an extension rod setup and some penetrating oil.

Cleaning a seat tube is a lot like making love to a beautiful woman…..

Oooh, like the brush in the drill idea!
Compressor? How does that work?

Pressure washer. Now where are my haribo?

Onzadog, cherry boll*k or c**k ring? I’ll see what I can find down the side of the cushion on the sofa.

Long rod with a slot cut in it and emery tape wrapped round. Fit in drill and get reamering.

Been using one of Machine Mart’s brake cyinder honing tools for about £9 with very good results recently.

Damn straight. I use the Mucoff round brush, on a string, and I poke it in with a bit of M10 bar. How sexy is that?

Deburr Brush

Cut end off, stick in drill…… done!

1. Get a cheap alloy wheel brush (one where the wire inside the bristles loops out from the handle). These are usually the cheapest ones in the shop.
2. Cut one end of the U shaped wire inside the bristles near the handle (or just wait ’til it snaps through use).
3. Straighten the wire into one long bit.
4. Moisten bristles with WD40 and insert into seatpost.
5. Agitate.

Shotgun cleaning kit. Maybe a 10 bore or even bigger.

If it’s just clearing crud and polishing, I use a Flex Hone in a power drill.

Start with your tounge….

Would a brake hone go all the way down? My one is admittedly shit but it’ll only do a few inches
