Any one have any ideas what might be the issue my saddle tilts forward or back depending where my weight comes down on the saddle when i hit a bump on the road. Saddle clamp bolt is always tight when i stop to readjust it. It happened from new, wondering if it was not tight enough when new and its been damaged as a result. I changed the stock saddle to a stela italia maxi flite gel flow, and found setting up the tilt of the saddle very difficult even though saddle and seat post were compatable size wise.
So if anyone has perserverd this far, if I was to get a new seat post what would people recommend, lightish, carbon, easy to set up, and adjust and reliable.... not asking too much am I ... oh yea and cheap :smile:

Hello Banger. I have a defy2 aswell but have found the seat stable and hasnt moved from any position its been in. I'd contact the shop you got it from as it sound like a faulty bolt mech possibly dont go buying another yet. The shop should lend you one if you have to wait for delivery of the replacement too

Thanks should have taken it back sooner :sad: now that I have changed the saddle Im sure they will have a get out clause, but worth trying them anyway. thanks for the reply good to know its not a generic issue with the defy as other wise I find it great! once I discovered the handle bar stem is reversable!! was streached for a while untill i discovered that one
