Guys, I picked up a F29 Carbon 2 which has a 1st gen Save seatpost. I'm loving the shock absorption/flex of this post, it's super comfy, but my saddle is mounted right at the very front of the rails, which is "OK" but I could really use 15-25mm of setback to put the clamp somewhere near the middle of the rails.
I can't find any real info about the Save2 post on the web and my local dealer is not exactly helpful (is focused on selling road bikes), but it looks like it does have some set back? Can anyone advise how much?
Also if anyone can recommend an alternative set back post that has a similar shock absorption to the Save post please chime in (not a thudbuster thanks)
Cheers
PS if it does have 15-25mm of setback and anyone wants to sell one let me know!

The Save2 comes in a setback or 0 offset. I have one from my FSi and it feels great. Call NewBury Park Bike Shop and ask for Ben or Big Shane. They'll order you one if need be, but they can definately help you out.

No, actually it has setback, this is the reason I want to sell it, I need one without setback.

Thanks Guys, looks like the Save 2 is the one for me. I'll see if someone in the UK can supply me with one
