Just to point any new readers to the longer discussion of long setback 26.8 posts and other workarounds we had recently: https://groups.google.com/g/rbw-owners-bunch/c/7w-LvB64bdo/m/6_3-7tnZCQAJ
Paul: Let us know how your friend likes that seatpost. I could never get mine to bite. And I believe it's IRD, rather than IRC, for Interloc Racing Design. I'm still tempted by reaming for a 27.2 though I'm getting more used to the bike. Johnny: Every body is different and Grant/Rivendell developed the Nitto S84 for people who like lots of setback. I run the MTE-100 on my Appaloosa. It has more setback than I need but, as we discussed in the other thread, finding a 26.8 post with lots of setback is quite difficult On Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 6:01:05 PM UTC-4 Johnny Alien wrote: > Wow!
