I recently purchased a Brooks B-17 saddle. I have a Giant OCR Composite 2 that currently has a Fizik Vitesse saddle. The seatpost works well for the Fizik saddle, but when I swapped it out for the B17 it is tilted up at about 10-15% angle, with no way to adjust it downward. Therefore I am looking for recommendations for replacing the seatpost with one that will allow me to use the B17 and make the proper adjustments for fit. Thanks

I had to get an adjustable, set back seat post
The Easton EA70 works great for me
plenty of set back, and tilt

I just have the bontrager race seatpost that came on my 520.
Get something with 2 bolts, so much easier to adjust than the old style.
