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.

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.

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.
