Hi Bruce, Great to hear from you and your love of your many years of riding on Selle Anatomica saddles.
Earlier today, I took a ride around my neighborhood. I stopped here and there to adjust my saddle; height, fore and aft, tilt and tension. I love the ease of using an Allen wrench to adjust the tension. Eliot.. I decided to tighten up the tension bolt quite a bit and back off a little. It feels a lot better now. I still need to go on a longer ride to prove itself as being a great saddle. That day will come soon. Kim Hetzel Yelm, WA.
