I just got my pretty new Brooks Flyer S saddle and successfully installed it. It is my first saddle install, having had all other saddles put on by my LBS. I have had other saddles supposedly "tilted" up since I tend to feel like I'm sliding off the saddle. However, for the life of me I can't figure out how you tilt. There is one screw that puts the saddle on and no way that I can see for the saddle to be tilted. Am I missing something obvious?
It would depend on what type of seat post/clamp you have. What kind of bike is it? I know that on my Cannondale Synapse, it is very tricky to adjust saddle tilt. From all outward appearances, it seemed like I could not tilt my saddle either, but a quick call to my LBS where I bought the bike resolved that. I too, have only 1 screw on my clamp...so in order to adjust tilt, it requires prying off 2 plastic "end caps" and then adjusting the tilt on each side of the post separately...then pop the end caps back on. It's time-consuming and requires a lot of patience...which is why I had my fitter take care of it during my bike fit.
Hmm. Well, at least I don't feel quite so silly. I was starting to think this tilting thing people tell you about but doesn't really exist. :) The seat is for my new Surly LHT.
