I am currently riding with my seat pushed back to the marked limit. After a couple of months I feel I'd like it back just a little more - not to mention I'd like to not be at the limits on the rails. There are no in stock seat posts local to me at the moment. I'm looking online, located in Canada and would prefer something shipping within Canada. But would settle for something with reasonable shipping times (because of course I want something now) and shipping costs.
Looking at 27.2 in carbon. So far I've found
FSA-SL-K SB0 Di2 15mm offset (I don't need the Di1 accommodation),
Ritchey Comp Carbon 25mm
Bontrager Pro 15
Online searches seem to favour FSA. I don't like the adjustment mechanism on my current post - it has those grooves cut into the adjustment piece that define the saddle angle, and it never seems that you can get the angle you want. So I know what I don't want, but less sure of what I do. Would welcome any thoughts.

Give the Canyon S13 VCLS seatpost a look.

Thomson setback post, not bad on the weight but not likely to ever let you down either. Nice stuff.

What colour is your bike?

Looks like a great option, but perhaps pricey to get to me. I'm having issues with the Canyon site, and when I enter Canada for the shipping destination I get a shipping cost higher than the cost of the saddle, and then the site shuts down. In the pre-covid days I used to get things shipped to the border and just drive across to pick-up.

I was initially thinking carbon for carbon frame? What's the correct protection on the post to prevent issues mixing? One choice in black/27.2 and it has a 30mm setback. Might need to do some checking to see how I expect that to work out.

If you can do it. get a 2-bolt post. Not only odes that mean you can get any tilt you want, you can also tweak that tilt accurately and repeatably. I haevn't ridden the Thompson post but Thompson sells its clamp hardware to framebuilders and I have two custom posts with Thompson clamps. I love 'em.

I'm looking to replace the saddle clamp on a proprietary Cannondale carbon seat mast. Can you post the framebuilders you got the custom posts from? I'd like to see if they would be willing to middleman with Thompson for me. Or PM if you'd prefer to keep the contact private. TIA.

Both posts are from TiCycles. I'm not sure they'd be interested in being a middleman. They could make you a metal fixture to fit your mast. (If it's not round, might be a bunch of expensive machining. But creative projects is what they do - as well as making nice frames.)
