Dead easy to do, another trick is to eye it up with a course of bricks as they'd have been laid level.

There is just one teeny flaw to this plan. Here are some courses of bricks to illustrate said flaw...

Thanks All.

Been on several rides over the course of 10 days or so.

Got some mileage under my belt and my normal recreational ride is about 6-8 miles.

Finally getting used to it. Butt not too bad now.

Thanks once again!!

not perfect for everyone (no saddle is), but if they suit you they are as good as it gets

like sitting on an angel's lap to coin a phrase from my granddad

The brick courses are still level even if the road isn't; just need a spirirt level to get the bike level and then compare the saddle with the bricks. Jeez, how hard can it be? rolleyes

As for the OP, can recommend Selle Italia Gel Flow SLR; just replaced the instrument of torture that Felt supplied with my AR for one. Very impressed after 45 miles tonight.
