Rail Markings on WTB Saddle

Evening all, I have a potentially daft question about the markings on the rail of a WTB Volt saddle. I’m trying to get the seat as far back as possible – is the foremost clamp point 1 or 2 on the pic?

To my (possibly limited) mind the markings don’t make sense. Any help would be appreciated as ever! Thanks very much.

Rail markings like this get even more complex when the seat post has offset clamps above and below where it grips the rail… Which one should not go beyond the max line? 😮

In intrigued too, have a bump.

I use number two on your photo and the lower clamp. Not killed a saddle, post or myself yet.

It doesn’t actually matter, it’s just that the further back the saddle is the more likelihood of bending the rails due to the leverage.

It’s not clear but I wouldn’t be bothered about using two. Inline post I hope, if you clamp there on a layback seatpost you’ve not only got the wrong size bike you’re putting a lot of bending moment on the post.

OK, I have an answer from WTB – no.2 is the rearmost saddle position.

@johnners – it is a setback post. As it happens, the most comfortable position after a bit of trial and error is a bit past position 1. The bike is a Sonder Camino, and the fit is pretty much bang on in all other areas.

& the saddle sage continues…

Have a bendy rail bump 😜
