Saddle Angle

Generally speaking a saddle should be level. This prevents the rider slipping
forwards or backwards. It also prevents too much pressure being applied either
front or rear. It is also recommended that the saddle is completely straight in line
with the frame. This allows the rider to apply equal load to the widest part of the
saddle where the sit bones are supported. If the rider finds themselves sitting too
far forward, then the fore / aft adjustment should be adjusted accordingly, or tilt
the saddle back fractionally.
