Go ahead, tilt it down

so I 've read tilting the saddle down isn’t a good idea

well I was ready to sell my cool looking new profile tri saddle.

then I decided to try tilting the nose down

it’s really not that much but it’s obvious.

the saddle rail is just slightly below level(i checked with one - the bubble is just outside the window)

but the way the saddle is built, the saddle itself is tilted down a little more

but it fells good that way , and I don’t slide forward or anything like that.

so don’t be afraid to try it, I say.

So are you keeping the saddle? Do the boys fall through the opening easily and is the pressure off of the stem? No numbness right?

Thanks M.

how big do you think my boys are? :slight_smile:

I feel good on it.

pressure on the stem? feels like the weight on the aerobars is fine. balance feels fine,

the boys were always fine, but the pressure on the pubic bone was very uncomfortable on all the saddles I’ve tried.

but tilting it down seems to have helped

Can you ride it no-hands, or do you slide off?
