Seat post measurement ?

[cyberknight]

Looking at getting a longer seatpost and i was wondering do they measure just the length of the post or does it include the seatpost clamp as well?

Diameter esp important, remember to grease the post esp if alloy post in steel frame, unless its a carbon post - do not use grease here - I found carbon assembly paste good thought, increases grip.
