Seat (won't) Lock

[scott]

My seat lock doesn't seem to be working. I can remove the seat without using the key. I can see the cable moving close to the barrel when I turn the lock, but nothing happens where the D part of the seat should be locking into the bike.

This isn't effecting the ride, but would be nice to be able to use the helmet locks.

Any suggestions?

If its down to corrosion Scott, then I can
only suggest that you try WD40 oil or Plus Gas.
But you may have to replace the lock.

Thanks Jake, I'll try some WD40 tomorrow. But I if it is corrosion I think it must somewhere in the cable as the lock does move.
