Hi

Could anyone point me to a source of useful information for saddle setback measurements for
different seat posts? These things seem to vary so much. I've just returned a USE seat pin as
there wasn't enough setback and am hoping to replace it with their aero seat pin, which seems to
offer more. Any info on this particular post would be appreciated. I can see one limitation of the
Alien seat clamp being that the whole thing takes up so much saddle rail that it reduces fore-aft
adjustability.

Cheers

Chris

I recently purchased an "Easton" EC 70 seatpost plenty of setback and very pleasing on the eye.

Another option is the Italian-made Selcof 68X Biposition. I ride one of these. It's done entirely in
polished aluminum, has a two-bolt microadjustable clamp, and weighs 230g. It has over 32mm of
setback. Here's a link to a photo:

Go check out the Giant/Mike Burrows aero carbon posts too.
