I know Thompson is the shiznit but I think I need something with a little more setback.

Thompson elite = .5" (12.7mm)

Titec El Norte = 1.5" (38.1mm) But is it crap?

Easton EA70 = 1" (25MM)

Are there any around 3 that are good?

Why do you need three inches of offset? That is going to affect your handling by pushing your weight back.

Maybe a little offset and a little longer stem if you want to extend the cockpit area.

It has to do with getting the right fit between my knee & pedal.

I'm running a setback post now and the saddle is far back on the rails (too far). It handles great but I'd like to get the saddle more centered on the post.

best pic I have of it right now

From your list, definitively the Eaton EC70, it's great performing and looking. I used one of this the past year and sold it because of the offset (same problem but in tho other way). Now still stuck with Easton, using a EC90 Zero.

About Titec, don't know about El Norte, but year ago I used the 6061-t6 and except from the weight it did ok.

MBC - your saddle is all the way forward with that current set back post.

If you have more set back and run it in the middle it'll still accomplish the same thing wouldn't it??

Are you sure you don't want to try my straight Thomson and run your saddle in the middle of the rails to see if it achieves your desired saddle position?

....wait - am I going the wrong way? Do I need less setback?

 

[Wumpus]

Do I need less setback?

Yes.

You want a straight post.

 

[MMcG]

yeah I think a straight post would allow you to center the saddle on the rails and still have the same position you have now with the offset seatpost.

You need my straight Thomson.
