The tilt is based on the length of the seatpost and both 7 and 10 degree posts offer 16mm of setback.

Question
Is it possible to use this seatpost to tilt forward rather than backwards?
I would like to try and get a better position on my tri bars. I currently find the top tube too long. I would like to find a seat post that will get me further forward. If I use this seat post will there still be sufficient adjustment to get the seat angle correct?

the post will keep you above the down tube or further back, if your reach is too long you should look at a shorter stem, there should be a slight bend to the elbow when seated.

We do not recommend that you turn setback seatposts in order to get a setforward position. The posts are not designed to take stresses in this way and it could also damage your frame where the stresses are levering the frame in the opposite direction from normal.

Yes - you'll need to flip the top clamp assembly too, but it can definitely be done. The offset is about 17mm as memory serves, so you'll move about 34mm forward.

No, I can't advise that you reverse the saddle to give a set forward. The post is designed to take stresses in one direction and so is your frame, applying pressure in the opposite direction could cause issues.

I advise to ask this question to directly firm Thomson and to the manufacturer of your frame and to ask them to make the recommendation. The difference of 0.2 mm is essential enough.

You will need to ensure that you purchase the 27mm seat post. You will not be able to use either the 27.2 or 26.8mm seat posts with your frame.

There is a "front" and a "back" of the clamp, so you'd have to turn it around as well. However, plenty of movement both ways so don't see why it wouldn't work but haven't ever tried...

It's something that you could try certainly. I couldn't say for definite whether you'd be able to achieve the position you require though.
