Advice needed for seatpost
I'm wanting to purchase a new seatpost and am looking at the fizik cyrano r1
Wiggle | Fizik Cyrano R1 Carbon Seat Post | Seat Posts
I've looked at the specs for my bike and the current seatpost has a size of 27.2mmx300mm. The fizik doesn't have a size that matches this completely. Does this mean it won't fit my bike?

The 27.2/330 should work fine.

A quick look at the link will show the available sizes for the seatpost.
To the OP: the indicated size of the seatpost gives two dimensions - the first one (27.2 mm) is the seatpost diameter, and the second (300 mm) is the length of the post from the bottom to the rails.
If your current seatpost's "minimum insertion" line is substantially below the seat tube collar then I would guess the 270 mm length would not be a problem. Going longer than 300 mm is better, albeit with weight penalty if you're a WW.
