What combination of a Brooks B17 and a seatpost with an offset of around 30mm can anyone suggest to fit a road bike. My current set up only has 10mm and I want to set the saddle further back as I am finding I am having knee problems now. I see plenty of carbon ones, but I want a cheapish alloy one that fits in my budget of a round £30.

I quite rate these
System Ex
Available in most sizes from Halfords, I like the fact that they are a closed top design but that's cos most of my bikes are steel frames.

Velo orange at Fresh tripe do a 30 mm layback post for brooks saddles, approx £35 and available in black or polished silver.
The "Velo orange" looks good and got it earmarked to buy.
But the problem may be solved without cost, having done 2 x 400 and 2 x 600audax's on the same setup with no problem, the problem has to be the bike, someone suggested the leather on the saddle may have stretched and sagging down which is one thing I did notice but never put two and two together, By raising the saddle and tightening the saddle tensioner it seems to have solved the problem almost, Then raised the saddle a bit more to compensate for a weight loss since I last rode it and problem now seems to have solved the problem.
