Saddle height issue

[Si]

Imagine that your seat post is at max but you still need the saddle a cm or two higher. You cant change the seat post for a longer one. How do you fix the problem?

Ive put a bodge in place that is working so far, but would like a more elegant (but cheap) solution. Any ideas?

how long a seat post have you got?

You could a little more using that rather heavy chunk of metal that is nornally used to set the seat further back?

A mod you could do with folders which took 28.6 mm diameter seat pins was too find a scrap frame, cut out the seat tube and use this with its original seat pin. Might give you some ideas.

Afraid that i cant do any surgery to current post...its carbon and D shaped!

The vk saddle adjuster looks interesting...apart from the set back. Its not unlike the bodge i found!

standard brompton saddles seem to have a higher profile than many saddles. often to be found relatively cheap on eBay..

I have been using the VK adapter now for some years so is solid enough, just adds a bit of extra weight Only works with Brookes type rail saddles and suitable seatposts that can take such

it adds about an extra 25mm to the height. it can be used eith way increase/decrease set back
