Quoted message said:I have for long been wanting a seatpost with a major setback; just half an
inch more than what I have, would be fine (for the steepest climbs.)And luckily today I found an inch long crack in my carbon seatpost. So
now I must buy a new one - for safety reasons. ;-(
Searching my favourite webstores I have found a FSA K-Force Carbon post
which is claimed to have a 3.5 cm setback: But I'm no sure if that is
enough.So now I need to know, how to measure setback on my present seatpost.
One way would be to measure the distance from the center of the tube
(post) to the center of the clutch (is that the correct English term for
the device that clutches the rails of the saddle?)
Another - and more relevant - measure would be the distance from the FRONT
end of the ae... clutch to the center of the tube.Q1: Is there an acknowledged standard description for seatpost setbacks?
Q2: Can anyone recommend a good seatpost with a big setback?
You want a post with setback, then check out the CLB:
