My black seatpost for my Black C1 came yesterday evening and I spent a couple of hours attempting to mount a saddle correctly on it .
Its an inexpensive one but got pretty good reviews.m
The problem is , with any of the five saddles I tried , except for one ; is the lack of adjustment lowering the nose of the saddle , especially with my B67 Brooks . Most adjust out to where the nose is above level . I prefer a slightly low nose on my saddle position.
I tried turn the inner curved plate around , but that didn’t help .
The only saddle I’ve been able to get to setup level is an old Bell MTB saddle.
I’ve ordered a straight black seatpost to allow me to use a seat clamp . The one with nuts on both sides that slides onto a tapered end seatpost .
I rode both of C1’s today for a total of 8.8 miles and my knees seem to be getting better . I think saddle position and height was my problem before .
