zero setback micro adjust seatposts??
I cant seem to find any.
A few years back you could get them everywhere.
I need a 26.6 zero setback. Kallroy and UNO (same) used to make them in all sizes and they had the zero setback top seat clamp like the Thompson post but they were reasonably priced and came in both sliver and black. The allen key micro adjust for setting the tilt was fantastic.
Seems odd they would just disappear. These were a great functional alternative to the expensive Thompson models.
Does anyone know if they can be had anywhere or what happened to them? Id need to pick up at least one....perhaps 2.

Red or gold on ebay, I would suspect the demand for this size dropped too far to sustain it. 26.8 seem to still be plentiful, easy to sand down to fit.

Non omnino gravis
Origin8 seems to have copied the UNO design, they are on eBay as well, mid-$20 range.

Honestly just curious, but why do you need a zero setback post? I'm realizing that I generally need to put my saddle back as far as possible for most efficient pedaling.

I dunno about the OP, but my frame has a long effective top tube measurement-- my saddle is just forward of center on a zero-setback clamp. I'd never get KOPS on a setback post.

Actually..........you all figured it out. I didnt mean setback.....i meant offset. IF i search by 0 offset i get a lot more hits.
