Hi,

I'm looking for a 31.6 seatpost with 15-20mm setback. Haven't seen too many of these. Most setback seatposts are 25mm. Any suggestions? I noticed zipp and control tech both have one.


Thanks!

Match your stem, and adjust your seat 5mm

+1, or if you can't move the saddle forwards 5mm you could go for an inline post and move the seat 15mm back.

USE Alien Carbon is a great choice - but offset is only 10mm though.

Nice weight, price and quality

Also, the Enve 0 is really 5mm offset.

Syntace P6 hiflex is technically a 0, but allows a LOT of aft adjustment.

Pro vibe are 20mm, specialized makes some 20mm (if that would work on your bike).

Thomson works and looks good on a compact frame. I think the setback Thomson looks wonky on a trad frame.

I've had good experiences with the VCRC seatposts. Carbon, 17mm setback, 221 grams at 350mm long.

If you're on a budget, I have an Oval Concepts one I can sell you for cheap. It was 180g-ish uncut at 350mm and 15mm setback with boat anchor hardware. Swapping lighter yokes brought it down to 155ish.
