Cut Saddle Post

Deep Thought · 2017-02-14 16:00:57

Due to the Bottle holder screws, I cannot lower my saddle down to the required height (only need 1/2 inch) Is it OK just to cut it as long as I do not cut it above the min height DT

The narrower a man’s mind, the broader his statements.

You could cut the half inch off safely enough.

It doesn't matter whether or not you cut above the original minimum height mark - the issue is that when you do cut a seat post, remember that the de facto minimum insert requirement will move up the post by the amount that you remove, and the original stamped mark will be invalid.
