well, im mm away from finishing my first fixie build, and have realized that my seatpost is waaay toooo long. i have been riding a larger frame, and was thinking i might need more seat extension, but it is a little ridiculous. the thing must go like 200mm into my frame. at least.
anyway, so my understanding is that too long of a seatpost can cause frame bending. no good. my basic question is: is there anything wrong with hack-sawing it into normal 75mm into-frame extension? will cutting it f it up in anyway?
this is the only thing between me and getting on the bike. you know im just gonna ride it too long for a while, but i dont want to mess up my pretty new (used) frame. so ill hack at it unless i hear that it can cause a problem. any thought would be much appreciated.
forgive the mundane-ness and non-fixie specific-ness of the issue. ill be posting pics of it once it have ridden it around a bit
