Broken seatpost removal (9 Inches of Carbon Misery)

I found this video buried on my hard drive, and it’s a brutal reminder of why I started the "Nuclear Option" series. A customer brought in an aluminium frame with a carbon fibre seatpost that hadn't just seized—it had literally snapped off, leaving 9 inches (23 cm) of misery stuck inside the frame. In this bite-sized archive cut: The DIY Depth Gauge: See how a simple spoke reveals the scale of the disaster. The Failed Invention: I test a custom "bearing-guided" saw blade to try and protect the frame. Spoiler: It didn't go as planned. The £25 Secret Sauce: Testing "Carbomove" release spray—is it actually three times better than the cheap stuff? The Final Battle: From curved chisels to adjustable reamers and a modified slide hammer. It took every tool in the shop to win this one. The Twist: Was it actually chemically seized, or was it something much more "human"? Watch until the end to see the measurement that explains everything.
