I just purchased a new bike (Cervelo P3) and when attempting to re-create the fit from my previous bike (professionally fit) I run out of room with the seat post. With the seat post all the way down, my seat post stack is off by 1 cm. I raised it up 2 cm (so now 3 cm higher than previously fit bike) to make sure there was a little wiggle room on the bottom.
My main question is : is it ok to have the seat post all the way down? If I hit a bump/ pothole/ railroad track with the post all the way down could I damage my frame?
I could always cut the seat post, but want to avoid that if possible. With my luck it would fray at the base and get stuck in the seat tube over time.
