“Setback” is one of the seatpost features and it means how far the clamp part is away from the center of seatpost.

 

The setback of *VELO ORANGE* cru long setback seatpost is 30mm.

This is one of the biggest setback in BLUE LUG online store.

Personally, I installed this seatpost onto my family bike. Thanks to this big setback, my knees finally got out of the way of a child seat.

It’s not much pricy, but still works great like other VELO ORANGE products. I love this dull silver finish of them.

We use a setback seatpost to adjust the riding position, and some people say it’s more flexible than its straight counterpart.

 

There’s a bit difficult yet interesting article in RIVENDELL website.

“Seat Posts and SetBack II” 

RIVENDELL’s lugged seatpost has about 37mm setback.

Favorite riding position depend on each rider, but bigger setback is worth a try if you ride a small sized frame, or love to ride comfortably.
