I think I still prefer it very slightly nose up but just interested to hear others thoughts on this although I'm also guessing it'll partly depend on MTB vs Road Racer.
Seats are designed,
AFAIK, to be set as close to level as possible. That's always going to be the most comfortable setting, because you're neither sliding forward nor sliding back. When a saddle is doing its job properly, you don't even know its there.
Even if level "feels" slightly off at first, that's the saddle's most neutral setting, and the one that will cause the least problems over thousands of miles of aches, pains, heat, cold, good days, bad days, and constantly varying conditions.
