Great! Let us know what you think.

I'm going to have to put some lock-tite on the seatpost bolts. I found out one of them was a bit loose on my commute home yesterday, and threw off the angle of the seat when I hit a pothole (nose down). I stopped a couple miles later to adjust it, but I over-adjusted, and put the nose too far up. The commute home wasn't very comfortable, but it was OK. Gotta re-adjust it before my next ride.

At least I know the angle that works good for me - nose 1" higher than the rear. I place a screwdriver handle (about 1" thick) on the rear of the saddle, and a level from the nose to the screwdriver handle. Bubble should be centered.
