and will affect seat posts made of any material.
Such a seat post insert limit will be marked on
the frame, via a frame decal and/or in the owner's
manual supplement as "seat post insert limit" in the
Geometry/Specifications section.

how does it affect my bike?
The seat post must not be forced beyond the limit
depth. Attempting to insert the seat post beyond
the limit can damage the seat post and/or frame.
To fit some riders who require a lower seat it may be
necessary to cut the seat post. This must be done by
a professional mechanic who will: Carefully measure,
Cut with the proper tools, Smoothly finish the new
lower edge of the shortened seat post, Re-mark the
CPSC required minimum insertion line on the seat
post, Install with the proper lubricant or carbon gel.
WARNING

If the seat post requires cutting, have it done by
a professional bike mechanic with experience
cutting high performance carbon or alloy
compoments..
This will help ensure that:
1. The seat post is cut properly.
2. The seat post adjustment range in the frame
is correct and the saddle height fits you
3. The seat post is correctly re-marked with its
"MINIMUM INSERT."
