All right, I have a question about my Raleigh Wyoming touring bike. I believe the seatpost is 26.4mm. I'm pulling it out just a bit past the minimum insertion line because leg extension. I think I want to replace the seatpost with a slightly longer alloy one. I have about 7" showing. All the seatposts I'm seeing are 350mm long, which seems a bit excessive. Any recommendations?
The extra length can be a plus as it will provide more strength below the seat lug for the further insertion.
You may need to clean the seat tube to get the post in, add some ATF, penetrant, etc and attach some Scotch Brite to a stiff wire or dowel to get down deep.
Of course you can cut it down but I would leave it plenty long, especially if you are any sort of a "big" man.
