How do you position your saddle? I don't mean forward or rearward- I mean do you set up your saddle parallel to the ground and perfectly centered? With a slight downward tilt? Upward tilt? Pointing slightly to the left or right? I raced tri's last season w/my saddle tilted ever so slightly downward at the front but kept my road bike saddle parallel. A friend of mine tilts his quite a bit downward. I also know someone who has his tilted noticeably upward.

Does anyone know if this aspect of saddle orientation affects performance? Is it simply a comfort issue or can this affect power, cadence, muscle recruitment, knee ligaments, etc...I have heard that some people point their saddles a tad to one side to relieve chode pressure...anyone tried this?
