Thomson seat posts

After today's recovery ride (following 80 miles yesterday) I noticed that my seat post has a great crack in it approx 1/3 of the way through and just above the collar. Assuming that this is terminal, I now need to replace my FSA SLK carbon post with something new, which would include a setback of ~ 20mm.

A quick search suggests that Thomson Elite posts are hard to beat. Is that still the case?

    Arguably the best alloy post there is and one of the best posts anyway. Not cheap but I have 3 of them so I must like them

    Thomson's great if you need an inline post, but the layback version is fugly.

    The Ritchey WCS (2 bolt version) is very nice. I am (cough) 95kg and it's given me no trouble.

    Yes. I've got one with matching stem and am very pleased with them.

    EC70 is another strong option

    Agree with everyone above (except 2alexcoo) - great posts, can't fault mine.
