Seatpost with more setback
I need more setback for my seatpost. The one I have currently, the PRO PLT has max of 20mm. I know 3T makes one with 25mm, which may work or at least be better. But before I pull the trigger on that, does anyone know if there are others that may go up to 30mm? No, I don't want the Thomson one because it's fugly.

The Thomson actually has less...
The FSA of course - which is very nice and light actually, I use it myself - also Paul's Components has one and so does Velo Orange. The latter might look out of place on a modern sporty bike. I think Nitto does too...not sure.

I am at the end of the PRO's 20 mm max setback with the new Romin EVO saddle. The rails on the new saddle don't allow you to move the saddle back as much as the Toupe it replaced. I had the Toupe dialed in quite well, but since I put the Romin EVO on, I am having some knee pain issues. I've already made sure the height/level are the same, so the only difference between the two setups is the saddle setback position vis-a-vis the BB. I really only need an additional 3-5 mm, so a 25 mm setback would work; but since I am getting a new one, I thought might as well go for the one with more, just in case.

I have a Romin Evo pro and did notice the rails don't let you go back as far as some other saddles. Is the Ti version the same way or just the carbon rails. I don't need any setback as I am fine with the regular offset post. My bike fits me well now. Love the saddle.

I have the EVO Expert version. If you compare that to the Toupe, you will see the different in where the rails bend starts. On top of that, as much as I like the EVO, it forces you into a position on the saddle that's just a tiny forward of where I normally rode my Toupe.

LOOK ergo seatpost comes with 30mm setback. not cheap though. I need a seatpost like you and I ordered a Velo Orange
If I did this I would feel like my saddle was wedged up my ass.
