Hi,
I am trying to adjust my seat to tilt slighty forward but every time i do it and go out on my bike and hit some bumps it tilts backwards again. I got my LBS to do it for me as well today but again it has tilted backwards again. Any ideas on how i can keep it at the angle im after? Im new to this so wondering if there was a trick to it. I have a giant yukon.
Thanks in advance
Tim

tighten the bolt(s) more.
what is the seat post? (pics)"Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Ok single bolt.
make sure that the "teeth" are locked in place before full tightening the bolt.
if this still moves then you may have a faulty seat post or a damaged seat post or you just need a different design."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

you could also loosen the bolt and slide your saddle a little forwards , as in your pic it looks like its sat right at the front of the rails0

A bit of threadlock on the threads might help. It worked for me!0
