I have a non-setback and the Brooks is demanding a setback. :p Hey, if I want it to keep me happy, I need to provide! :D

I bought a telescope yesterday. Anyone else like to look at the sky?

FSA and Easton make some setback posts...but the Thomson one with a kink in it is awesome. For what it's worth, the Brooks has very little fore-aft adjustment, and it's really hard to position it where it needs to go.

Lots of companies make setback seatposts. You'll have to determine the size and how much setback you need as well as how much you want to spend.

The thomson setback doesn't really provide that much of a setback. My stock C'dale one has 20mm without that bend in the tube, but the thomson is only 16mm.

Boy, add stomach cramps to that and I'd say you were PMSing...

Hmmm I wonder if something like that would help...I think the rails are shorter on these brooks..

They're definitely shorter, Herb! I also love the micro-adjust on it. Huge difference!
