Hi all. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but just picked up my first dedicated tri bike (Canyon Speedmax CF), so new to setting it up.
I managed to get a Selle SMP T5 saddle to test, as it is the triathlon equivalent of what's on my road bike. The comfort is definitely there, but due to the nose down angle of the actual seat on the rails, I can't get it level with the fairly limited Speedmax seat clamp adjustment. I've noticed this nose down position on a few saddles I've looked at.
I've given it a couple of goes on the turbo, but still feel like I'm slipping ever so slightly forward. I do have a bike fit booked next week, but slightly concerned it could be a waste of time and money if the saddle and bike just don't mix!!
I won't go into the whole fit thing, I was just wondering really if I should be finding a saddle I can actual level on the bike first, or just carry on with the fit as this issue is normal, and the slipping could be fixed elsewhere?
