Zero layback carbon seatpost

For fit reasons, I’m looking at putting a zero layback post on my C’dale CAAD5. Looking at aluminium, consensus appears to be the Thompson, but carbon is less clear.

A couple of questions:

  1. What zero layback carbon posts are available? (all I can find thus far is "Pazazz, ex Taiwan on eBay - all the big names seem to have some layback, maybe the USE looks to be “least” laid back)

  2. The carbon thought isn’t really weight-driven but more trying to slightly quieten down the harshness (both audible and in feel) of Alu. Of course a relatively short post stick-up on a non-compact bike isn’t going to change my world, but do you guys think I’d notice any difference at all between a Thompson and carbon?

Thanks, Phil / UK

Syncros makes one, just got it one on ebay for my wife’s felt. Serotta has one on their website, but I don’t see it in their catalog. You might feel a difference, especially if you think you will.

corima makes a carbon post. it is reversible, so it may be laid back, but if you can reverse it and then move the seat back a bit, i think you’ll get the same thing.

good luck.

Woodman makes one. We just got it in about 10 mins. ago. It is very affordable. Should retail for about 69.99. Let me know if you need one.
