Bob: I've got the earlier aluminum DA posts on two Rivs; even with their considerable setback I have to use a mallet to get my Flites far back enough (yes, I ought to have listened to Grant long ago when he counseled a 72* st; but mine are 73*) and the clamp grips the front part of the cradle with just mm of contact (no problems over many years, but ...).
Does the S 83 have more setback than the DAs? Can't see what the fuss is over the SP 60,though -- looks like a bad old design resurrected in better quality. Thanks.
