I currently ride a hybrid (Gary Fisher Nirvana) that has a compact geometry. It's my first bike in ten years so I wasn't properly focussed on my needs. I do love the bike but as I've ridden it I've found that sliding way back on the seat provides a more comfortable and powerful riding position. I've adjusted the seat and it can't be move backward any more. I could really use another inch or two. Does anyone know of a seatpost that goes back at an angle thereby affording a little more rearward adjustment? I'm a Clydsdale so strength rather than weight is my major (only) concern.

BTW - It wasn't the fault of my lbs as I bought the bike and figured that I could make adjustments on my own as long as the frame height was right. I didn't consider (or understand at the time) the compact v. traditional geometry issues.

There are some seat posts that are laid back or have set back clamps that might give you an additional 1 to 1-1/2" room. Easton has a few https://www.eastonbike.com/COMPONENTS...seatposts.html
Moots has a nice one too if you can afford it https://www.moots.com/ticomp-seatposts.php
Thomsen has one as well https://www.lhthomson.com/gallery.htm

What kind of seatpost do you have now? Is the clamp set back at all or is it a Bontrager with the clamp centered on the top of the post?

If the clamp is set behind the post, like it is on the majority of inexpensive seatposts, a Thompson or Moots layback seatpost won't help at all. Titec Hell Bent seatposts are set back 1 1/2" (about twice the Thompson or Moots setback) but uses the same center clamp design so you'll still only get a marginal benefit from a typical offset clamp seatpost.

Thank you GM and RETRO. I'll take a look at your suggestions.
