Seat tube not fitting
I'm building a Kestrel Talon and I bought a Giant Racing aero seat post for it. The insertion portion is 27.2 round, so I'm using the Kestrel round post adapter.
My problem is that I can only insert the seat post into the frame less than an inch before it binds up and is impossible to insert further. I verified the post diameter on Kestrel's website as being 27.2, so what could be wrong? What should I do?

It doesn't insert far enough to be stable, if I cut off the required amount.
