If you didn't ride on the rivets before (and you did lots of riding on
this saddle), you've messed it up - sorry! Set-back isn't going to do
anything positive for you. What it will do is lenghten your reach, put
your foot farther in front of the knee than where it's been, and
probably increase the effective saddle height. Oh yeah, and you'll
probably still be sitting on the rivets...
Tilt the nose down a bit. If it's sagging too much, then tighten the
nose nut. If you can't get the sag out, if it continues to sag, or if
the leather starts tearing at the rivets, then, again, the saddle is
toast... (or a door stop)

> I recently conditioned my old Brooks Pro with neatsfoot oil and it has softened up quite a bit. The problem is that it has softened and now I'm riding on the rivets. My seatpost is maxed out as far back as it will allow the seat to go. I guess what I need is a cheap seatpost that will give me another 2" rearward adjustment. By cheap I guess I mean aluminum. Thanks in advance.
