  1. The carbon seatpost I bought is a 350mm length, but I really only need
    a 250mm size. Can I cut this one shorter?

    thanks,
    Don

    If the seatpost can be inserted into the frame deep enough to provide
    the correct ride height for the saddle, don't cut it. If it can't,
    I'd favor getting one of the correct length instead of cutting that
    one.

  3. Thanks for all the good advice.
    It does fit in the frame as is, I was just asking in case I get into
    gram counting...
    Also, I hope I can remember which end to cut... 🙂

    Thanks again,
    Don
