Hi everyone, I’m trying to find a good starting point for the tilt of a Specialized Power Saddle, but I’m a bit confused about how the tilt should actually be measured. Different people seem to measure it in different ways: - along the entire length of the saddle (tail to nose) - only on the rear flat platform where the sit bones rest - on the first third of the saddle - on the first two-thirds - or even using the rails as a reference Because the Power has a short nose and a curved profile, these methods give very different angles. So my questions are: 1. What tilt range do you usually use as a starting point for the Power? 2. Where exactly do you place the level when measuring the angle? 3. Do you measure tail-to-nose, or only the rear support platform? Then is the Power with Mirror similar ?
I have the same Specialized seat. I measure by placing a flat plate over the entire seat. I am testing while driving. If I slide forward, I lift the nose and vice versa. It is very important that you use the same method on a flat surface. There are no rules, create your own pattern and stick to it all the time.
I feel numbness only and always on my left hand , tried different hoods position but not worked , I get numb left fingers after 30min riding, already raised handlebar 2 spacers, still same problem, anyone could advice me ?
I had the same problem for 15 years, only with my right hand. I tried all possible methods and advice. I solved my problem completely by accident. I kept the seat height and F/A, and only changed the angle of the seat. At +0.5 °, the pain and numbness of the 4th and 5th fingers stopped. I am very satisfied.
