Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Seat post sizing

My seat post is a "FSA 20mm Setback" A lot of the posts I see on nashbar are 25mm. Does that make a difference?

yes, by 5mm.

in all seriousness, it depends on what its measuring. set back measures how far the clamp is from the post. Whether or not it fits depends on the diameter of the post
