A Level Bike Seat? What you should know about your saddle

Is a level bike seat necessary? Usually this is the case, but check out this video on why you might not set your saddle up this way:https://youtu.be/53vbdNrkev0

• Having a level bike seat is usually the case but can't live and die by this rule -- level doesn't always mean level
• Selle SMP, fizik tail up, ism all get set up in some variation of what might be considered tilted.
• is it level when we sit on it? Most of the time we're leveling off the bike, but when we add our body weight to any saddle it will change its position
  • Next we have to consider the saddle itself and how it's built
  • More mobile it is then level becomes a fluid thing
  • Magnified by squishy saddles as I mentioned
• Also changes with where you're clamped on the seatpost -- more forward or back and the saddle will flex preferentially to one direction forward or back
