T-MAR I thought setting the saddle height was easy to do. Fore/aft because the clamp slides on the beam I just used the same measurement as my Paramount. Tilt can be a little bit of time as it is with any bike. For height I just take my saddle standard height and add 1 inch. The 1 inch was for initial beam flex. Since the beam is always moving as long as you are close you are good. It was always interesting to me that riding the bike I never felt like the beam was moving but I have seen myself on video on the bike the beam is in constant movement. Not large amounts but plus or minus 1/4 of an inch often. I normally ride Brooks B-17 and on my regular bikes after 25 miles or so I had to change saddle position to protect my rear end parts. On the Softrides that was never an issue. Roger
