Seatposts - Zipp, Ritchey, other?

Currently have a Syntace P6 alu post. Its great, but I'd like a bit more set back as my new frame has a steeper seat angle than my last one.

Thinking about the Zipp Service Course SL alu post, seems fairly light, the clamp looks solid and it offers 20mm of layback with some nice extended rails.

The other option I was looking at was a Ritchey WCS 1 bolt as these are available for £30 on ebay. Not sure about the clamp though, and I dont think it would offer that much more setback than the Syntace I currently have.

What else is worth considering? Must be aluminium, 27.2mm and 350mm+ in length.

Thompson, sweet, best all round.

Or tune for bling or for comfort canyon. For lightness, schmolke / ax lightness.

These are great but only 310 mm length.

Pro stuff is highly thought of -

I have Thomson posts, a masterpiece setback and an elite in line, I use them on mountain bikes now the setback isn't enough for me on the 'setback' post on my road bike.

But the Zipp looks great too!

+1 for Thomson

I have a Thomson on my MTB and I agree, its solid. The Masterpiece posts are a bit costly though, and Im not a huge fan of the kink in the set back version.

I'll check out the Pro stuff, I forgot about them.

The setback isn't much on the Thomsons either...
