Hi

I want to adjust my saddle rail and need advice on how tight/ what torque to tighten it to when i have the correct position

I'm new to bike maintenance, didn't fit the saddle and don't want to over tighten.

The saddle is Fabric, the rails are alloy and its on an alloy seat post on a Cannondale synapse road bike.

Many thanks in advance

    I have a Fabric scoop saddle and a Ritchey comp alloy seatpost on my bike.

    My seatpost has a recommended torque value for saddle rail clamping printed on it of 12Nm and follow that using a torque wrench.

    Maybe your seatpost will have the same recommendation printed on it somewhere near the rail clamp?
