Seat post advice

smartie123

I need to move my seat forward a bit as i am long in the leg and the seat is up quite high can any one point me in the right direct and recommend a seat post that can allow me some more adjustment.

Many thanks for time and advice

If you are long in the leg I would have thought you needed to move the seat back rather than forwards. As a rough guide the notch below your knee cap should be straight above the pedal spindle. This will get a good starting point for adjustment. Most will not be more than 1cm either side of this.

Could try an inline seatpost if your current one has any layback

I've just bought a 3T Doric http://www.totalcycling.com/index.php/manufacturer/3t/SP_3TTT_DORIC_TEAM.html but for the opposite reason I'm short and felt over stretched when on the drops. Nice and light, no creaking and looks great on my red Bianchi.

or for a less expensive version of the 3T post above:

or if you already have an inline post and you still need more adjustment on the saddle you could try a SDG I-beam post and saddle combo:
