I'm looking for tips regarding reversible seatposts
Example, setback 10 - 15mm but with possibility to run offset forward.
My Bike Ahead for instance isn't possible to use in reversed position.
Bikes:

Ax Lightness Vial EVO Race (2019.01.03)
Open *UP* (2016.04.14)
Paduano Racing Fidia (kind of shelved)


Ex bike; Vial EVO D, Vial EVO Ultra, Scott Foil, Paduano ti bike.

Seatposts are typically not reversible because of limited range on the saddle angle adjustment. The only posts I know of which are officially endorsed by the manufacturer to be run in both orientations are the Profile Design Fast Forward Reversible and Redshift Dual-Position.

So did Gorka Izaguirre with his FSA K-Force:

In some cases, even though it's not supposed to be doable, swapping mounting bolts for different lengths can make it work.

I've looked at the Fast Forward. But it seems it will actually move the saddle to much.
I look for a difference on 10 - 15mm. I tried to check if Beast components works, but they didn't reply.
I look for something under 150g.
27.2mm version.
