Not quite following you? Said differently, the seat post was originally 34cm and after cutting off 8cm and adjusting the seat post in the seat tube for my desired inseam length, there’s 15cm of seat post above the seat tube and 11cm of seat post in the seat tube, with the end of the seat post extending about 3cm below the union of the seat tube and the top tube. So I’m confident all is well with the strength of the seat post.
