Dropper not letting me put seat at right angle

[lightning.milan@gmail.com]

Hey guys

My dropper is not allowing me to point my seat down enough to be comfortable on the bike

What can i do to fix this? maxing out the screws to the point the nose down position isnt enough... im on a 2019 cannondale habit and i think its because of the seat tube angle but now it is what it is so what can i do to solve the problem or am i screwed and need to look at buying another new dropper?

And if you rotate the seat connecting mechanism through 180deg? Or the dropper through 180deg? 

The dropper doesnt know whats front or back does it?

I'm just wondering why the nose needs to be tilted more downward than it already is?

The cradle base is not going to allow you to tilt the nose more downward no matter what you do

[Sandro]

Surely it shouldn't point more than that anyway? 

[lightning.milan@gmail.com]

lol.... my ass says otherwise

Previous dropper could tilt more down and it was more comfortable for me at the moment this is hurting my chommie... i know its the right saddle and all as it worked before just tilted more downward

[Sandro]

Stupid question but have you had a proper bike fit?

[guidodg]

looks like you’re on the limit… so it’s either a new dropper with more adjustment or a new bike😉

[Anthem24]

Agreed, if it's tilted more than that you'll probably get sore hands from sliding down the seat. If you're sore on the soft bits, try dropping the saddle slightly or changing the fore-aft position.

[guidodg]

new saddle is probably the cheapest and best method… if you need to angle that saddle down more to make it comfortable it’s not the right saddle 

[RobynE]

Is it a different saddle to the one you had with the previous dropper?

Is It currently hurting the meat and veg or the pudding? 

I’d do a bike fit first and see.

its then flat at the moment not tilted forward at all and ive been comfortable for years on this saddle... just tilted maybe 1deg more nose down... no pain in arms no sliding nothing just happy lol but now this dropper wont let me tilt to the right angle... no ive never had a bike fit
