This is really helpful. Other videos assume you can adjust the tilt. You actually show how It is done.

Thanks buddy, i was used to the old style. Rode the new bike yesterday and had to try and figure this out on the fly. I appreciate you getting to the point.!

[douglasmartinez]

Finally a video that gets right to the point. Thank you!

Once you see it it's easy peasy, but until you do it can definitely be confusing. Thanks for posting.

I didn't think I could fit the saddle in the bracket with just loosened bolts, so I ended up completely removing the bolts, adding the saddle in the bracket, and trying to screw the bolts back in without losing any parts. It was a challenge for someone as maladroit as me, but I eventually got it!
;-)

Don't completely remove the bolts, unless you just find it impossible to put the new saddle in the bracket otherwise. It'll make it easier.

Thank you James for using the right technical terms for the saddle parts. Other videos don't even mention what the parts are called so non tech amateurs like me cant even order new parts because we dont know the correct terminology. " i want the thingummyjig that hold the seat part to the downtube" bamboozles some bike shop guys.

This is the most infuriating thing I have ever done with a bike

[nuttycommuter]

Thank you for this! It’s made my Brooks Swift comfortable!

[mahendradoshi]

Thanks for posting. Is it necessary to use a torque tool to tight the bolts

[DarthScorpion]

Great video thank you was pulling hair out lol

hey, I somehow popped off the top part of my saddle clamp when attempting this. I can’t seem to get it to pop back on to bite into the saddle rails. any tips? can’t see a brand name but it’s a 2-bolt clamp with a slightly different design than shown here. thanks in advance for helping this beginner!

I've got a specialised roll and it's at max adjustment with the seat still too far up. Can't adjust it down enough :'(

[rickaristotlejorge]

In loosening the bolts should I loosen the bolt behind the saddle first? Because when I loosened the bolt in front of the seatpost I heard a snap and when I checked ths threads there were a few metal shavings.

does all sadle compatible to any seatpost? thanks!

[Mythzz]

Can any dual rail saddle fit on it? Is it universal in that aspect

[egallelli]

James do you have a video for someone who exploded the whole seat post assembly? I am having trouble putting it back together

[Zleephralysis]

Whenever I tightening these bolts, the angle just keeps on moving right. How am I suppose to do the right way?

[jedimynds]

I have a boardman c7 carbon and dont know how to lower the seat post can you help ?

[Wiggi]

Where should the knee be exactly over the pedal parallel wise?

[DrGonstead]

I didn’t notice how to change the saddle angle. Previous saddle and installed saddle are the same angle.
