Apologies if this has been discussed before, but do some manufacturers use different ways to measure seat post lengths?

From using the search facility on here, and a bit of Googling it seems that the general consensus is that the length is normally measured from top to bottom.

The reason I am asking is that I have a lovely Felt F4130 105, and on the manufacturers website the length is stated as 300mm, but when I have measured mine it is actually 400mm in length, but 300mm from the the top down to the minimum marker.

I wish to swap it for a black one hence the question before I order a new one.

  • i would have thought it would be from the top to the minimum marker so you have the mm as adjustment.
