|   Who makes setback posts other than Thomson? | Snuz
Jan 16, 2004 8:35 AM | | I was surprised Thomson only gives a little more than half an inch. Anyone else give a little more? |
| Titec does.... | RED5

Our Hell-Bent post is Knock-Rated (our sure sign of unquestionable durability!), and offers more backset than any other MTB post, putting your weight further behind your bike to help tame even the wildest descents." The offset of the post is 1.5".

| That is the one I've got. Thomson is no better than most... | Danny

| also Easton & Salsa | logbiter
Jan 16, 2004 10:37 AM | | salsa's somewhere btw thomson & raceface (1").
Easton is close to 1.5" (ea70)
and titec is a good 1.5" .. heavy but bombproof.
I just picked up a used Salsa, haven't any time on it yet, going on a new bike build.
Easton EA70, raceface XY and titec hellbent have all worked pretty well for me. |
