  1. I've got one of these things, but in the setback flavor.

    I'd like to get one that's not set back so I can make my saddle setback agree
    with the recommendation I got from the bike's maker. Right now it's about a
    half inch further back.

    Can't find a model number/name on the one I've got, but the salient features
    are:

    1) Unlimited tilt adjustment

    2) Separate adjustments for tilt and setback. i.e. you can loosen/adjust the
    setback without the tilt getting out of wack and vice-versa.

    3) 5mm Allen key does it all.

    Can anybody put a name on this thing?

  3. Aye, its a raceface 'XY' post, for a similar one with no layback you
    could try and track down an 'XY0'.

    I had an XY0 - over-rated, the saddle rotated backwards on a few occasions
    under load despite me getting medieval on the clamp bolt. I use a Roox post
    now - cheaper & stronger, zero layback, doesn't scratch & scuff.
