    I've switched to a new saddle and I have been going over how my bike is setup.
    The saddle is supposed to be level but saddles differ greatly in design and I am
    wondering how to determine if the saddle is level. My Concor saddle had a
    fairly large lip on the back of it and other saddles are much more flat. Should
    the front part of the saddle be where "level" is determined?

    I consider the saddle to be level when the nose is just at the point
    where it doesn't quite cause vital equipment to be disturbed or
    bruised when in the drops. As this "level" angle will vary from rider
    to rider, I would only use the "carpenter's level" measurement as a
    means of establishing a starting point. The position that *you*
    require may be slightly off from that angle.
