If you can find a CLB that works with your bike - those have set back 
galore.

The Nitto Lugged seatpost has 40mm, according to Riv's writeup.  And it's the 
most beautiful post around!

Me too.  There's an alloy FSA with that same 32.5mm setback -- the 
SL-220<http://www.mtbr.com/cat/controls/seatpost/fsa/sl-220/prd_365311_141crx.aspx>.
  It's not exactly beautiful but it works well.  I have one on a bike but I had 
to pull out the red plug and wrap the post with twine to cover up the logo.  
They are not made anymore but pop up on ebay from time to time.

[RBW] Re: high-setback seatpost

2015-09-05 Thread arthur 
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 option. Only those old SR MTE-1000 posts have more. But 
there are three other decent options:

SJS Cycles sells the VK saddle adjuster, which you can pair with a 
Laprade-type post. (some work better with this adapter than others, because 
of the shapes of the cradles) 
You could buy a BMX layback post in 25.4, with an adapter shim. (not sure 
of total setback, but it's high)
Or you could get the radical Brompton Saddle Pin adapter, like this: 
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/34302359649100/

The Brompton adapter looks pretty burly, so would survive hard use.

hope this helps

Arthur

2015-09-05 Thread Garth 

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 .

Hi, Mike.

Yeah, I think the Dia Compe and the VO posts are *very* similar. And the 32.5mm 
setback is still well short of the S-84.

Oh well.
