How much is too much?; Sanding gouges in seat post
the fluted laprade post for my super le tour has got some gouges i'd like to clean up, if possible. it came that way. it's a 26.4 and would like to keep it vs just getting something else. but, how much is too much before getting "too thin" on the wall thickness? .1mm maybe .2mm max? i've got some new digital calipers so i can keep an eye on how much i'm taking off. i don't expect i'll get it perfect, but as good as possible is fine
thanks!
ps. would someone have a most expedient method that would also help prevent flat spots?
