Seat angle

Quoted message said:

Is there a way to adjust the angle that your seat is at? mine is lower in
the front and I would like to make it level so I stop sliding forward it.
thanks for your help on this.

The saddle is mounted on a "seatpost".
The other end of the seatpost goes down into the frame of the bicycle.

Look up under the saddle - you should be able to see how the saddle is
mounted onto the seatpost.

On some, there is a aluminium clamp permanently attached to the end of
the seatpost - this is normally adjusted with an Allen key.

On others, there is a seperate steel clamp which bolts to both the top
of the seatpost and the bottom of the saddle. This type is normally
adjusted with a wrench.

Loosen up the clamp fitting at the top of the seatpost, level the
saddle, and tighten the fitting back up. Don't wail on it, but make
sure you do it up fairly tight. Most people find their saddles
comfortable when it's very close to dead level.

Be aware that on most bikes, you can also slide the saddle back and
forward by adjusting the same clamp. Just make one adjustment at a
time though - set the saddle level, ride the bike for a while, see how
you get on.
