Just as the title says...I cannot stand the teardrop-shaped carbon aero seatpost on my Cannondale Synapse... I just want it OFF my bike for good! It is the most ridiculous design I have ever encountered. I thought the aero seatpost on my Cervelo sucked, but this one really takes the cake. Making any kind of angle/tilt adjustment is nearly impossible with this seatpost and clamping system that Cannondale uses. You literally have to hammer off these 2 black "caps" that are on each side of the post. These "caps" are what the seat rails sit in...but you have to take each one off individually and then turn them to the desired angle/tilt...making sure that they are perfectly even with each other, and then pound them back on...praying that neither one moves!! It is an utterly stupid design...whoever came up with that one, ought to be FIRED! My poor DH has been trying all afternoon to level my Toupe saddle, which is pointing slightly nose-down...but has been unsuccessful because of this ridiculous seat post and clamping system. There HAS to be a better solution out there. I've been Googling "carbon aero seatposts" all afternoon, but I have no idea if it is even possible to just swap out an aero seatpost such as mine. With the seat tube being teardrop-shaped, I am assuming that a round seattube would not work...am I correct? Can anyone offer any suggestions on a replacement seatpost? Cuz I have no clue what I should be looking for. For what it's worth...this seatpost has the "pointy" part of the teardrop facing the rear. I know that some are reverse of this (like Cervelo), so that wouldn't work in my case. Please help...as I am about to pull my hair out over this.

Thanks!
