saddle help?
I need to tension this bolt-it is loose. Can't see how to get a wrench in there. It is a Ideale model 90/all I've come up with in research is that it has a concealed tensioner. (The cap?) But no info past that. Any info appreciated. TYIA

it may take one of these - see if you can get calipers in it, and I'll take a comparable measurement on a Brooks saddle wrench - have several handy.

An Ideale 90 with aluminum rails may be worth more than the bike it's on.

I don't have a caliper, but I'm pretty sure it's 15mm. If I disassemble-how would I adjust it in pieces?? The sides of the cantle (?) seem to prohibit any wrench getting in there. Is that little 'T' part turnable? Sorry for all the stupid questions. I read the post from Pastor Bob and rhm recovering a 99 frame/interesting....but didnt touch on adj.
