I hate having to start a new thread for this silly little question, I wish there was some mega thread with constant questions, answers, and maybe a huge chart with (less FAQs).

Anyways, I'm trying to extend my handlebar reach. I'm using drops, and considered a longer stem, but I'm already using a 130mm or something like that. I'm considering the alternative of a setback seatpost - I want to stretch out a bit more.

I've heard about the negative implications to a setback seatpost for reasons other than changing your leg rotation position - are these warranted or is it "not a big deal".

tl;dr: Is getting a setback seatpost ok to extend reach, if not - alternatives?
