400mm post

the key is a hack-saw... we were told, if the seats too long then cut an
inch or 2 off the seatpost... with a hacksaw, pretty easy..
do not fold it in or anything, just cut it, because it could flange out
if u fold it

yeah if it's too long a pipe cutter is the better method for shortening
but a hack saw should work fine too.

You can't get up and try it again if you don't fall first.

Just make sure that after you have cut the tube, you file both the
outside AND the inside of the tube to get rid of burs. I know you are
probably going to have a very strong seatpost clamp but just incase
something happens its always a good idea to make sure that it wont hurt
your tire.

Also the best thing to cut them with is a reciprocating saw! Chopped
mine in about three seconds.
