I am in the process of a cockpit and general update. As part of confirming all my bike fit dimensions, I discovered that my seat is angled down a few degrees. Being a newbie and all, I am curios if this is in a reasonably acceptable range. I am planning to post my overall fit critique video and measurements soon, but the seat angle seems like it could be an independent variable for consideration. For context, I have never felt totally comfortable on the saddle. I tend to shift frequently on multi-hour rides and never feel at home. Is this OK? Should I try leveling it? How does one fit the ideal seat angle? What are your thoughts?
Here is a picture for reference. I estimate is 2° to 3° down. (The bike is positioned on a level surface, and the forward ruler is about at the the high-point on the front end of the saddle.
