Dropper Post Insertion

Response: If the dropper can insert cleanly without any chance of the bottom actuator hitting the frame, it should be fine. However it is important to keep in mind that carbon frames are expected to flex somewhat as part of their normal compliance during riding conditions. If the tolerances are too close, there is the chance that it could hit the inside of the frame when it flexes if not enough length of seat tube.

They just covered their arse, if your bike breaks they’re not liable.

Dicks.

If it doesn’t hit anything, slam it. No need to hit up a company and get some bullshit reply that ensures they have zero responsibility.
As stated it relates to sizing and fit pre purchase not post purchase ie I don't have the bike to slam it.

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.

So what your after is the max seatpost insertion measurement, and then your overall seatpost length.

Has a juicy midrange
You may find it necessary to choose a shorter drop stroke. Long-stroke posts are by necessity longer than shorter versions in all regards - overall, upper and lower tube lengths. A long-stroke post may not be able to be slammed to the collar before hitting something, where a shorter variant of the same model post may be fine.
