well sounds like you should try the longer stem 1st and see how that feels. I've looked at Peter Whites comments and most fall inline with what I've learned in my 40 years of riding and bike fitting. I do think that using the the 37 mm setback post with a 72d STA is way off the bell curve fo

Hugh, The Nitto S-83 are listed as 26 mm of setback. I had one on my Coho (72 STA) but was always sitting on the rivets so I switched it for a Dia Compe Gran Compe with 30 mm of setback. I've spent many hours looking for setback posts as I have long femurs and can never get back far enough.

Or, perhaps more precisely, you'd be buying setback that you don't need to use. But! If you ride a traditional Brooks, and if at the same time you like a somewhat rearward position, a long-setback seatpost won't be at all impractical. I like a rearward saddle, and the old Dura Ace seatposts I use

Mike, Thanks for asking. Since I decided to bring my Albatross handlebars up & back the saddle position feels strange. My rear end feels like it wants to slide back and when I do I run out of saddle. I slammed the saddle all the way back when I originally installed the Albatross with a 12cm Tallu

Hugh, since your Atlantis and Hilsen both have 72 degree STA's , adding a 37mm setback post is going to put you way back behind the pedals. It may cause some other problems ( knee,hip,foot)Normally people use that seatpost when they have a steeper STA. What issue are you trying to fix?
