This is a good guideline:

So video does bear out some up tilt for selle saddles. I played around a bit with set back ( not much since Brooks rails permit so little fore-aft movement) and saddle height per various recs and now have saddle closer to level thatn before -- more nose up than the 1/4 inch the video suggests as a staring point, but considerably less than it was before. Feels ok on the trainer but we'll see next time I go for ride.
