I need to shift my seat back as i find myself perched on the back edge of the seat quite often on my commute. The seat is set as far back as possible.

Any recommendations sub £50?

USE currently have some special offers on their seatposts. Really good kit and the carbon ones are a penny under budget for you.

How far back are we talking?

I had a similar issue and one of these beauties sorted it out - not many colours left now, but for £10 they are fantastic (quite a light option too I seem to recall when I was looking.

Would you mind posting a link, I couldn't see one for 49.99 nor which appeared to be setback?

They are cheap.

I think about an inch should do it, that should be possible?

Not a huge amount of setback but not sure how much you need.

Yes that was all I was after too and it did job nicely - Like you said, I was as far up the seat rails as I wanted to risk - but the Superstar layback gave me just the amount of adjustment I needed.

Nice product too - logo and colour all still nicely intact and not scratched off yet.
