I was out last night on my bike with the allen keys and a spirit level.

I used to have my seat tilted back, but when you ride normally it wasnt too comfortable.  Now its bubble level, and its making me think of tilting my bars forward too  :shock:

Yeah, I grew out of the whole singlespeed thing a while ago, whilst waiting for BETD/Goldtech to make me some custom dropouts for one of my old bikes.

Its so much easier to adjust a saddle with a 2 bolt seat pin.

You dont grow out of the single speed "thing", you just get lazy and start to dismiss it.  ;)

Saddles are simple. Plastic shells get bubble level treatment. Leather saddles such as Brooks, get leveled + 3/4" raise at nose due to their design, which gives a level rear deck.

Mines a Body Geometry thang, its all gravy, could possibly do with a nose lift as it seems a little low atm.

Its all about getting my bike dialled in for some tasty summer riding.
