In the brief time my wife was riding her new bike, she also played the saddle swap game. A obscenely wide Schwinn saddle was one of the many she tried and liked. But only for a few rides. Then it'd be another saddle that felt great.... for a few rides. I'm pretty certain that if she continued to ride the bike that eventually when the saddle swap game played out, that the original saddle the bike came with would be back on the bike.

That's pretty much how it worked for me long ago when I too played the saddle swap game.


As for your saddle tilting. You either aren't tightening the clamp bolt enough. Possibly you have some of the parts mismatched in the wrong order. Or it might be missing a piece. I believe I had to take back the first one we'd purchased for her because of a missing piece.
