ISM Typhoon Seat
Would anyone that is riding an ISM Typhoon seat on their bike tell me if they are able to use a seatpost with a 0 or small amount of setback? My seatpost has 12mm of setback and I can’t get my Typhoon back far enough, feel like I’m way too close to the handlebars. Is it just me with a new and strange seat or did you have to change your seatpost. Thanks for any tips!

FWIW, question 4 in the FAQs tells you that you will likely need a setback post.

I love my Typhoon and my other ISM seats as well.

Non omnino gravis
I went from using a conventionally-shaped saddle with a 0mm setback FSA post, to an ISM PN 1.1, and switched to a Wren 850 post with adjustable setback from 18-30mm.
The FSA post has a flip-flop head and can do 15mm setback, and it wasn't nearly enough. I'm currently running 22-23mm of setback.
Hopefully you only need a post with 20mm or less setback-- because it was not a short search to find one with more... at least in carbon.

Thanks guys,
I bought a Velo Orange CRU seatpost, that should do the trick.
