Looking for a bit of help!

I bought a Cannondale Synapse Carbon last year and it's only had a few outings so far as I'm trying to only use it in the dry....

The saddle feels too high at the front for me but I can only seem to use the adjustment underneath to change how far forward/back it is... Thought I'd maybe get used to it but after a short ride tonight decided it's definitely not right for me!

Thought a quick Google would find the answer but still struggling!

Any advice on how I can adjust it such that it tilts forward a bit more would be appreciated!

Chris (& Chris plums - the main reason for writing)

If you loosen off the rear bolt on the saddle rails you should be able to use the thumb turn adjustment wheel. Assuming you have the same cannondale seat post as I do. This moves the pitch up and down. It is necessary to undo the rear bolt quite a bit to allow it to move.

The bike? smile

I've got a btwin road bike that does the trick when it's wet....not that the synapse is the best bike in the world but will keep it nice a little while longer... :-)
