    Saddle adjustment

    Hi ladies,

    I found my ideal saddle but just need to turn the nose down a wee bit. I'm really scared to do my own saddle adjustment. I don't know why!!! But mostly, I don't know how!!! I have the tools but just don't know to tweak it. I just have visions of tweaking it and on a ride, it falls off.

    I assume most of you ladies do your own saddle adjustments? I'm so clueless!!!!!

    There will be one or two allen-keyed bolts that attach the saddle to the seadpost. Loosen them, put the seat where you want it and tighten them. On some seatposts, the bolts need to be quite loose before you can swivel the nose up or down. After you tighten the saddle back down, do your darndest to move that saddle forward and back and side to side and up and down with your hands. If you can't move it no matter how hard you try, ride with confidence.
    Oil is good, grease is better.
