  1. Anybody know of a resource that would list the setback for
    various brands/models of seatposts? I have a new bike and a
    new high-zoot seatpost that would allow me to put my saddle
    where I want it, but am still entertaining alternatives.

    Andy Coggan

    P.S. I need at least 2 cm of seatback (measured from the
    centerline of the seattube to the center of the saddle
    rail clamp - that's assuming that all clamps are the
    same, which they aren't). Anybody know if the Deda
    Blackstick would meet this requirement?

    A bit on the expensive side, but the X-Lite Clickon seatpost
    gives 27mm of setback. You can see it at:
    wallbike.comcnc7075.html. They seem to
    out of stock on some sizes right now. Wallingford Bicycle is
    a very good dealer as well.

    Bontrager's new post is listed as 20mm setback. I'm pretty
    sure that's center to center.
    bontrager.comdetail.asp

    Couple observations:

    1. The length of seat rail the clamp occupies is pretty
    small, so there is lots of room for fore-and-aft saddle
    adjustment.

    2. I've also used it with the offset forward. The clamp's
    infinite angle adjustment helps here. Helpful for a far
    forward saddle position.

    3. I've also used it "upside down", with the rails below
    the bolt. Helpful when the seat tube of the frame is a
    touch too tall.

  4. Andy,

    Albert Bold makes custom Ti seatposts that are well under
    200 grams, and have as much setback as you want.

    check out boldprecision.comboldprecision.com

    I was just over at his house for dinner.

    Hi, take a look at the Easton seatposts, the EC70 has 25mm
    of setback, and the EC90 has 23mm. Easton:

    The American Classic posts have only 15mm of setback, but
    the very thin top clamp allows a LOT of adjustment (I'm kind
    of amazed at how far back I can move the saddle on my MTB
    using an AC post)..

    Other posts with 20+mm...

    Force: 35mm FSA SL-220: 35mm Nitto Triathlon S66: 50mm (kind
    of ugly, but hey...) Oval Concepts: 28mm Profile Design Fast

    Add the Selcof Biposition to your list

    selcof.comsella a5.html

    The first position gives you 18mm setback and the second
    position gives you
    32.5mm setback.

    Two seatposts with better than average setback that I have
    in my possession:

    Selcof Biposition - the clamp goes in two alternate
    positions, with the rear position giving 32mm of setback.

    FSA SL-220 - about 28mm of setback

    The Selcof comes in either black or silver; the FSA is black
    only. They both use two bolt clamps, but the FSA is more
    easily adjustable as both front and rear bolts take a 4mm
    allen key, whereas the Selcof uses a 5mm allen key on the
    rear bolt and an 8mm open-ended spanner on the front bolt.
