After looking at carbon vs metal seatpost, I decided to stick with metal for now. I like the Thompson Elite but the setback model only offers about 16mm of setback. My current seat post is closer to 25mm setback and my seat is only has a little bit on rails to move any further back. I am concerned that a Thompson seatpost will not give me enough setback and will force me to mount the seat too close to the saddle nose...if it will fit at all.
Has anyone else experienced this situation with the Thompson Elite setback model? How did you deal with it other than get a different post. I am also considering an Easton with more setback. Any other good metal seatpost I should consider?
