Yes its a layback postAn inline looks like this:You can probably get a layback post with a little more layback, but as youve already got the saddle right back on the rails, you're going to be right off...

You could look for a saddle with longer rails, but this will only make a difference of a few mm at best.

Thanks guys good to know. Didn't really want to go down the new frame route because I prefer the handling of a smaller frame on the down hill bits.

Surely the saddle in the photo is as far forward as possible - not far back it's very late and I've had quite a bit to drinks, so maybe I'm mistaken though.

It's as far back as it will go in terms of position relative to the bike (although it's as far forward on it's rails as it will go...)

I'm no expert but if your saddle is that far back already your frames too small.

There are dozens of things that could be giving you a sore back. Have you looked at anything else? Bar height, poor core strength, poor saddle/pedal position etc etc.

I found the cure for lower back pain was to put the seat further forwards, and to raise the seatpost somewhat.

PS, OP - make changes a bit at a time, ie. by 2-3mm at each change. Making a big change at once can lead to worse issues!

Lower back pain resulting from bike set up can be very personal. The age old make the reach shorter and put the bars up works for some (which I realise is not what you (OP) is saying just talking...

May be obvious, but just to add - lower back is often tight hamstrings etc, so as well as stretching, you could try reducing the reach.Doesn't have to be stem or saddle position* mind. Lower bars give...

It might be worth a try but would, as suggested above, only move it a small amount, also worth trying playing about with the angle of the saddle, again very small movements. BUT I would be fairly...
