So I took my new Rampage to work yesterday. I've been worried that the frame is too small for me (it was marketed as a 19 inch which is typically my size, but according to Bikepedia they sold it as an 18.5 and 20 inch BITD). I found the stock uncut seat post was too short - very odd feeling ride with that long stem. Fortunately it has the same diameter post as my Zaskar, so I swapped posts (since the Zaskar is currently awaiting a decision on wheels) and road it in today. Ahhhh, much better. That being said I had to expose a lot of seat post to get relatively comfortable (still have more than the minumum inserted). My buddy put the bug in my ear about seatpost/frame failure due to high seatpost exposure. Are there any rules of thumbs or widsome from the forum on this issue?
