Anyone else deal with this? The rails on this saddle (Forte RS1) are not as far away from the underside of the saddle as other/older saddles.

I'm going to file off about 3/16" from the end of the mounting bolt and see if that's all the space i need. As you can see the mounting structure is higher than modern mounts.

I've not experienced it, but someone else here was talking about the Toupe saddle having a lot of similar flex.
