Absolutely true; they're a hassle to adjust compared to those with access from underneath; there's where I like the original Weyless, and those that have followed it since the '70s. Placing the adjusting bolt heads on top was not the most thoughtful way to go... Thing about the old Record 2 bolt though, they look correct for anything from about '60 to mid '80s, they're bullet-proof, and they do hold their adjustment perfectly. I just take a 10mm 12 point combo wrench with me for the first rides to dial in the angle. Much easier with a 2 bolt (of any type) than it is with a one bolt post. Once I have my saddle dialed in, I don't need to re-adjust for a long time... Even while breaking in a Brooks, it rarely needs more than a slight turn of the bolts to bring up the nose a tad & feel perfect again.... something I don't like to do with a one bolt.
