Seat not far enough back
I have a Tern Link C8, the seat is as far back as I can move it but needs to go back another inch or two for me to be comfortable. My dealer (in Thailand) says that he is not aware of a seat post that can position the seat further back. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

are you trying to increase the reach from the saddle to the handlebar, or set more of your weight further behind the bottom bracket?
if you're trying to get more reach, moving the saddle back is never a good way to do that on any bicycle. moving the handlebar forward will help and Tern makes a special stem just for that https://www.ternbicycles.com/us/gear/472/andros-stem

The Link C7 uses a Q-Lock, forged aluminum handlebar post, the spec for Andros says I need a T-bar Physis handlebar post which is only available in later models. My Tern dealer says that Andros will not fit my Link C7.
