ps - I also vote don't push SA saddle all the way back - several of us have bent their rails. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to rbw-owners-b

The greatest setback on any seatpost made is the Nitto S84 lugged steel, which Rivendell sells - 40mm. Possibly can get a slightly better buy from Alex's Cycle in Japan, but haven't done XE stuff lately. -- Yo

[RBW] Re: seatpost/set back help

I tried the VO post once but returned it. The clamp seems oddly short/small to me and I don't think that's a good thing long term. Plus, the setback is 30mm, that's not alot more than a typical 25mm. If you are darn sure you only need 5mm then go for it or the Dia-Compe Gran Compe one that has t

Velo Boreange?! As Garth said, nitto S-84 seatpost is the way to go, shimmed. Not only does it have mega setback, but it'll add a lug to your lug hungry Clem. My Clem loves it's classy 84, and it's feathery steel! Might be cheap from Alex Cycles, but better bought from your guy in Walnut Creek.

+1 on the VO for lots of setback. It's pricey, but oh so shiny. On Monday, June 26, 2017 at 12:21:44 PM UTC-7, Austin B wrote: > > Velo Orange makes are large setback post with 30.2mm of setback: > http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/seatposts/vo-grand-cru-seat-post-long-setback-166

Velo Orange makes are large setback post with 30.2mm of setback: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.php/components/seatposts/vo-grand-cru-seat-post-long-setback-1668.html It's a 27.2 diameter so you'd still need the shim. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Gro

[RBW] Re: seatpost/set back help

Hi Davey, I needed a lot of setback so I bought a setback post with 26mm setback. At the same time I purchased a different saddle because my sit bones didn't like the c17. I purchased a Ergon saddle and noticed it had 14mm longer rails. They make a ton of saddles too many IMO but you might cons

[RBW] Re: seatpost/set back help

If you really like that particular saddle and/or style, I'd try the shim and a Nitto s-84 seatpost , although it will look kinda odd as it the shim has a lip on it so it won't be flush since Riv seat clusters are curled up to a point. If you're handy with a file or dremel of you could file of

[RBW] Re: seatpost/set back help

Exactly. A seat post shim from problem solvers solves the problem. I took a file to mine to follow the curve, but I didn't need to. I researched my options in a seatpost and none had any setback like I wanted, and having a selection of 27.2's at my disposal this seemed the best option. Time has

[RBW] Re: seatpost/set back help

Have you considered getting a 29.8 -> 27.2 seat post shim? Problem Solvers and Cane Creek both have that size, and there's a large selection of set back seat posts with a 27.2 diameter. I use a Cane Creek shim on a 31.6 -> 27.2 conversion, and have had no issues with slippage even at my svelte

[RBW] Re: seatpost/set back help

Been there and done that on a 26.8. Couldn't find anything to use and I use a Brooks saddle too. The Anatomicas do have longer rails but the saddles don't cut it for me. That said, if you are interested in buying one, contact me offline as I have several I could sell. On Monday, June 26, 20
