How do I lift the nose up on a Brooks saddle?

[cloggsy]

I'm a bit confused (not hard I know...)

I have a Brooks B17 saddle on my old commuter (I think?) How do I raise the nose on it? There is no adjustment on the stem as the rails and clamp are solid. There is a 14mm (?) nut on the front of the saddle, but I'm assuming this is for tension?

Is it a case of bending the damn think up a bit or does it require less 'brute force?

Thanks in advance

Underneath the saddle rail clamp is a 6mm Allen bolt. Undo it and the clamp will loosen, allowing you to adjust the angle of the saddle. Hold it in the desired position and do it up again. Badabing.

Or... just make sure you ride everywhere uphill.

On second thoughts, go with the 6mm Allen Bolt at the top of the seat post.

Done it

It looked like the stem was fixed, but alas it had adjustment in it...

Don't mind me - nothing to see here

You're welcome.

You could also tip the back of the saddle down

You're welcome.

Apologies! Many thanks
