So i have the short animal wedge post, i was trying to put it back into my seat tube last night and it wouldn't go in. So i kicked my seat which ended up slamming the post all the way into the frame. And now it's stuck. I need to know how to get it out. There isn't much to grip on it sense it's slammed.
I love my bike but i hate myself

You can try hammering it out with a rubber mallet or put the seat on the post and just try and twist it out

Do you mean the seat is still attached to the wedge post and it's just slammed all the way? In that case, loosen the bolt in the seat a little bit, not too much or the wedge piece will fall into the seat tube, then you're fucked.

You're only hosed IF you cannot flip your bike over.
But yea, the WEDGE POST uses a single bolt to hold the seat on and the post in place, so loosen the seat bolt a little and it will move around super easy.

I tried that, what i mean by slammed it that it literally got SLAMMED into the seat tube. It's in farther than it's supposed to be.

that seems odd. you should try to put up a pic if you can. rubber mallet might be your best bet. if youre running an el blanco loco, that has a standard clamping area and should have enough "give" to get the post out. be careful not to cause any cracks though.

I know this post is super old, but how did you get it out? Very little info out there about this. Gotta get this seat out!
