I have an old rigid gt aggressor mountain bike I use for commuting on. When pedalling and seated I keep sliding forwards. It's got a short 50mm stem on it now and quite wide riser bars.It used to have narrow riser bars and a longish stem and never used to do this. I was thinking of sliding the saddle backwards as it's currently centred or tilting the seat upwards. I keep sitting on the back end of the saddle at the moment, although I still slide forwards. The saddle is a shaped curvy WTB one and fits nicely.It is level.Seat position is kept quite low always. Not sure if it's the mods to the stem and bar. I might also try and rotate the riser bars backwards a bit too.The bar sett up is lower now from original and feels fine if not better. Any ideas how I can make adjustments to stop it and keep the current bar and stem on.
not mine but like this originally but rigid [url= https://www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/gt-aggressor-3.0-mountain-bike-16-medium-small-aluminium-frame-21-gears-26-wheels/1219137988 ]same originally[/url]

If your always sitting on the back end of the saddle - Slide backwards
If your sliding towards the front of the saddle - tilt up the front a little
thanks
Try riding mostly up hills. Should clear it up.
