Maybe I'm missing something, but the seatpost I have didn't seem to allow for any tilt. There is one metric allen-head bolt that goes vertically up through the bottom of the set-back portion into a kind of nut. The seat rails clamp between a grooved plate on top and a correspondingly-grooved casting on the top of the seatpost.

Do they make non-tilting seatposts?
Well, this is the tilt mechanism Just loose the bolt until you can move the upper plate one click forward, the tighten the bolt. Its like the upper plate swings on the down plate (if they didn't have grooves).
