Saddle Shifting Backwards..

Hi all,

really dumb question here.

Today I've replaced my bike's saddle with something slightly racier. After fine tuning the position though, I'm finding that however tight I clamp the saddle to the seat post, over the course of a ride the saddle shifts backwards by around a cm...
I have absolutely no idea why this is happening, since it didn't happen on my older saddle, and I've tightened the seat post as tight as possible....

Any ideas?

My brooks did this on one of the seat posts. I just used cyano to fix it, even then it breaks free after a while. Short of welding the two together..

Wrap some insulation tape around the seat rails and then clamp it in the seat post.
