If you can find a CLB that works with your bike - those have set back galore. On Saturday, September 5, 2015 at 5:26:46 AM UTC-5, Thomas Lynn Skean wrote: > > Hi, all. > > Anyone know of a seatpost with more setback than the RBW-sold S-84? > > Yours, > Thomas Lynn Skean > > -- You received

Every once in a while, I see the rare topic about which I might know at least a little more than the average I-bob: saddle setback! I'm tall , with long femurs, and ride Brooks saddles on bikes with 73 degree seat angles -- hence I need up to 30mm of setback. The S-84 is really the best

Another long femur guy here. Been searching for years. That Nitto is the longest one I've see. FSA has a carbon post with 32.5mm of setback. This Dia Compe Gran Compe aluminum seatpost has 30 mm of setback. http://www.bikewagon.com/gran-compe-27-2-x-250mm-post-silver-seatpost ~mike >

SR used to make one with 3" of setback back in the day . But honestly, if you need one with more than the 45mm of the S-84 then the frame itself or setup you are riding is not right for you. Are your cranks long enough ? There are lots of questions to be asked here . -- You received

Thanks, Arthur. I can get the Brompton part from NYceWheels I think. And I should be able to round up an appropriate post and saddle. That seems a good bet. If I go that route, I'll update here with results. Yours, Thomas Lynn Skean -- You received this message because you are subscribed to
