[QUOTE="PhilM, post: 132428, member: 2487"] I went to BPS today in Aurburn Hills and picked up another seat post. When I got home I measured down from the top inside to get the measurement of the inside nylon bushing that was about 3" I cut the post at 3 1/2" from the top using my 10" miter saw with a carbide blade. (the cut turned out clean and straight). I then used a bearing spreader to clamp the outside of the cutoff post and using a bearing driver I drove the insert out. After getting an accurate measurement for the finished post size I re-cut the bottom part of the post and reinserted the nylon bushing. I started out with a 13" post and finished out with a 6" post. :) [/QUOTE]
