Hi, Does anyone have any experience in rebonding the Difflock Charlie Seatpost from a 3T Exploro? I have a 3t Exploro and the difflock insert has debonded from the seatpost, 3T have told me I should not ride the bike as it would not be safe. It seems that 3T have now discontinued the seatpost, maybe because many of the posts debonded. Unfortunately 3T customer service is quite bad as they have not followed up in weeks to get me a new post and they dont sell the post on their website. I am left with a bike I havent been able to ride for 6 weeks, and no response from 3T, so I figure my only option is to try to rebond the post. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks

1. I have one I could let you have cheap.
2. I personally would recommend going to the Racemax Post: https://youtu.be/aRWeJYsWBi4

^ ditto. Happy to let mine go free if you cover shipping. Surprised you haven’t heard from 3T. They were pretty good at least here in US about sending a private link to buy the new post, which by the way is terrific so far.

Thanks to both of you for the replies. 3T finally responded last week and it looks like they now have stock of the racemax seatpost again.

So glad they updated the design and I could finally rid myself of that shitty diff lock setup. You'll love the new seat post
