I have two Tikits and one is harder to fold the seat mast than the other. I just use my foot to hold down the rear wheel and give the seat a good whack. On my easy folding Tikit the seat mast just pops out. <br /><br />I don't really notice the difference from a practical point of view unless I use both bikes back to back.Vikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214932277372519931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4612459909185636888.post-67858101733955005242009-07-18T08:26:40.161-06:002009-07-18T08:26:40.161-06:00Thanks vik!

After practicing folding it about 10 times, the clamp was stuck even with the cable slack under the bike frame. I inspected a while and tried lubing the lips of the pac-man clamp, discovering the solution and then confirming it by coming across your blog.<br /><br />Now another problem: After riding in the saddle for a few miles, I attempt to fold my tikit, and find that the seat mast is very difficult to get out of its upright position. I essentially have to kick it from behind while holding the bike, as slapping the rear or bottom of the seat doesn't provide enough impulse. I'm guessing this is just because it's new and the pins at the base of the seat mast haven't worn into the groove they sit in very much yet. But it is a real pain. Any ideas?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09862130375468740489noreply@blogger.com
