saddle level

Thanks Tucker.
... etc ...
Thank you.

Wow, excellent come-back. Good on you.

I have found that it works best for me when the part of the saddle my seat bones (Ischeal Tuberosities) rest on is about level. That means the nose tilts very slightly upwards, as does the back. I did have to experiment a bit, though.

Nice one S_Casey.. excellent come back post.

You keep asking questions. Don't worry about the idiotic flamers, there are plenty of good people on here who will give you some good advice. So ask away.
Welcome to CC by the way.

Hi s_casey - my very first post met with a similar idiot response. I thankfully ignored it.

BTW if you get a spirit level to the saddle then you should firstly check the ground is level!

Mine felt great when it was completely level, but 30ish miles later I couldn't feel my bits. A tilt forward by a degree or two and the feeling came back.

I seriously thought I'd lost a friend for good.

Level is a great starting point, but there are no hard and fast rules - listen to what your body tells you.

Nice one mods. The trouble is, my post, and the +1 from JohnHenry look a bit bizarre now.

Thanks Tucker.

That's very much appreciated.

Tucker, formerly known as Tasker, has a history of this and I made the same point as you back in March ...

Welcome to CycleChat, by the way!

I tend to have the nose level even if it means the back of the saddle is slightly higher. Like this ...

I suffer from NNS[sup]1[/sup] if the nose isn't kept well out of the way of my delicate bits!
