High Setback Seatpost
 
Looking for recomendations on a seatpost with a little extra setback. Currently have an older Control Tech post with about 25mm setback. All I've found so far with much more is FSA. What other choices are there? 27.2mm

Seems like starting late last year and into this Im feeling stronger sliding way back on the seat. Not sure why after 15 years in pretty much the same position, but thought I would play around with it a bit.

It may be your saddle angle as well.

If you need something less expensive than the Ritchey try the VO Grand Cru Seat Post and if those two don't have enough I don't think you can top the Nitto Wayback for some serious setback.

I switched all my saddles out to brooks B17 Ti's which have shorter rails and ended up having to get seatposts with more setback. The FSA is the one I'm using on my bikes. The Ritchie looks good, I didn't know about it. Nitto also makes a decent setback post.

Thanks for all of the replys. umd I've been running the same seat (older Body Geom. TI), set up dead level front to back, so no change there. Just seems like im pedaling better right at or past the back of the seat.

That VO looks very nice for the $$$. Im not a light rider so I've always shyed away from Carbon SP.

That VO seatpost is a right nice looking post...have to remember that if I ever build up anything classic.

I wish VO came in a flat black color. The shiny silver would look out of place on most modern bikes.

Nothing wrong with FSA, but all i've found FSA available in is black or white. This is going on an older steel Davidson (Stiletto), wanted some options with AL finish.
