Hmm don't know.

I might have a spirit level somewhere...............

Nose pointing up rather sharp but now level and pushed back a little.

See if it helps with saddle sores now

Go on, tilt your head!
Just remember to take into account the extra height the padding gives at the back of the saddle when using the spirit level. For me that would send the saddle slightly nose up....which I don't like.

mine is a charge spoon - will see how it goes on the way home - but 5* did seem a bit to far down lol

I reckon with these that you disregard the back third of the saddle, and the front little bit. Set the middle bit level. However, I found that I have a tendency to wander forward a bit on mine, so I have tilted it ever-so-slightly back. The back of this saddle is, so far, the most comfortable thing I have ever sat on on a bike.

Level, but you have to give a saddle time to conform to your body. A good few hundred miles before its just right

Not here offten enough to argue
The level saddle was way better on the way home - obviously i dropped the saddle height a bit and it was a lot more comfortable.

So not riding now till sunday, that will give time for my under carriage to repair lol

I can't take even the slightest hint of 'up'. I go for the smallest amount of 'down' that I can set the saddles to.

I don't understand how people can stand having a saddle nose stuck into their genitals for more than about 30 seconds. I suppose it must be down to 'individual body geometry'! :whistle::laugh:

Tight bibs sort that problem out, it leaves a nice resting place for the buttocks.

My verenti is level, its the saddle that came with it, the charge spoon on the fixed is a touch nose down, I normally start with the saddle level then adjust if necessary.
