Quick question to an older video: my frame specifies 65mm minimum insertion. The seatpost manufacturer claims 10 cm. Is the seatpost manufacturer in any way trying to account for all the different frames it could be paired with... or not? Should I honour both, or just the 65 mm? P.s. I am semi-prepared to buy a new seatpost for the 35mm saving, but also don't fancy causing msyelf an injury :)
If you use a wheel type pipe cutter to cut CF tubes all the way through, you risk delaminating the inner layers of CF. Some products will be fine, but others will make you regret your decision to use a tubing cutter all the way through. Follow this presenters advice, and make the final cut with a fine tooth saw.
