Re: [RBW] Re: 26.8 seatposts with generous setback

[Brian Turner]

My experience with Brooks leather saddles is they have rather short rails which limit you in your setback. Cambiums have a bit more rail length, and so do Berthoud saddles. I don’t really have any other saddle experience outside of the three I just mentioned. I’m almost completely switched over to Berthoud on all my bikes, with the exception of a few well-loved B17 specials.

If someone needs that much setback I would think they have the wrong sized frame.

He decided to have Rivbike order the IRC one for him some have had issues with because he heard a Rivendell employee recently had tried one and had no issues because IRC had resolved the issue with a thicker serrated washer. He said he would report back after trying it. Personally I would consult with an experienced frame builder about reaming out a seat tube especially with an expensive frame and have an expert builder donut if I went that route. I might've tempted to try it on a $50 Craiglist bike but not a nice bike I loved. Safe riding to all.
