How to create a forward offset seatpost on a caad12?
I have a caad12 cannondale that i would like to transform in a more TT geometry. I was looking to buy the profile design "fast forward seatpost" but since this one is 27.2mm in diameter and the caad12 is 25.4mm it wouldn't fit.
Do you have any ideas on the options available? I was thinking that i could try to find a 25.4mm seatpost with a high setback (offset) (around the 3.8mm off the fast forward) and inverting it... but often the angle of the seat is problematic.... any idea?
Thks a lot !!!

There are various shims you can get (such as this one https://www.amazon.com/Sunlite-Alloy...B00ZDU04M6#Ask) that may work for you.
There are also reverasble seatposts you could look into.

Hi,
I have the same issue: find a 25.4mm seatpost in order to have a more forward posiiton on a CAAD12 frame. I looked for a reversible 25.4mm seatpost but I did not find anything on the web.
Thanks for your help
