Thats annoying my cable stops match but haven't tried a seatpost yet but I'll take the one out of the beater and check it out. Otherwise i hope my new post has plenty of lacquer on it if i have to get the wet and dry out as I'd rather go at the post than the frame. Hopefully you get this sorted quickly. I definitely won't fully slam it as I'm in my mid 40's and hope to keep this a long time and my flexibility if going the same direction as everything else. The Simworks was slightly too tall though and not just in appearance.
EDIT: just checked and a 27.2 is no way going in there mine is really tight as well i only managed to get the tip in couple 1-2cm and put a couple of deep scratches into the post. I'm glad i tried it with a cheap alu post first 😕. My seatpost is going to be another couple of weeks so let me know how you get on. @PhilDAS is this your area of expertise? I'm going to give it a light rub and a clean today to see if it helps. I bet my BB won't go straight in either
