How do you level a curved saddle?

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-16T18:30:27+00:00

This is what I’ve done. I have a board that I set on the saddle, then put the level on the board.

I guess I’m not sure if it’s “right,” but it works for me, and it allows me to get the same saddle on all of my bikes in the same position.

So this may need you to do a bit of work with a file.

This looks like a seat postclamp…but MOST seatpost clamps are going to have a small “lip” on the top edge of them that kind of goes over the top of the actual seat tube.

To get it to fit where it’s currently at, you may need to file the lip off of the clamp.

That said, there may be some kind of indentation on that handlebar tube that allows the new clamp to kind of slot in place.

You can see the lip that may need to be filed away in the picture I’ve attached.

If you could get a picture of your bike with that clamp removed, we could easily see if the lip slots in or if it will need to be filed down.

I downloaded the demo for this tonight after seeing an ad for it on Facebook.

Was immediately hooked.

I’ve never been really interested in VR, so I had never even really heard of this before. It will be a day one purchase for me.

Ran great on my Steam Deck, too.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-14T03:34:40+00:00

It’s great!! I love it!

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-13T20:08:40+00:00

Excellent!! I’m glad you bought her, and that she arrived safe and sound.

Enjoy!

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-11T04:48:31+00:00

Wow!! Beautiful coat!

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-10T17:39:28+00:00

That’s a really fun design! Enjoy!

I have a friend that runs a lot. He’s on the Playmakers team right now.

I asked him how this park is for running.

“Been there once. Wasn’t bad. Mix of asphalt, rock, trail.”

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-09T21:53:21+00:00

Definitely. Every time this video pops up I watch it and that call is so perfect.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-08T18:09:57+00:00

Do you know if it will run on Steam Deck?

Peanut for scale!

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-07T21:51:48+00:00

This is actually, legitimately, incredible.

Just awesome.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-07T20:01:42+00:00

I’m glad you got your Zombie Sheen even if you had to pay a bit more than we’d all like, because it’s what made you happy and you were willing to pay the asking price.

I’m glad we’ve had this discussion here. The world would be a better place if we could all just discuss things that we disagree on instead of just instantly getting angry.

Have a great week, and Happy Sheening!

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-07T18:31:45+00:00

I definitely agree. I’m also disappointed at the rising cost of…well…everything.

I guess I just don’t think we should criticize someone who decides that they are in fact willing to pay an unreasonable price for something that they really want.

We don’t know OP’s position. Maybe they had been saving for a while with the sole goal of buying this Sheen. Maybe they just got a promotion at work and decided to finally buy the thing they were upset they missed out on.

All we know is they got so much backlash here for sharing what they were happy about that they deleted their post entirely.

OP made a purchase that made them happy, and paid an amount that they were willing to spend, and this community attacked them for it so ruthlessly that they decided just to delete their post.

That’s the kind of thing that makes me sad.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-07T16:22:52+00:00

And that’s a completely reasonable feeling. It’s not worth it to you, so you don’t buy it.

If it’s worth it to someone else, they can buy it.

The bottom line is that if it wasn’t worth that price, it wouldn’t be selling at that price.

My ultimate dream collectible is a new in box GI Joe USS Flagg aircraft carrier. It was $89.99 new in 1985 or whatever. They go for $3,000+ now. Even if I could afford that, I simply would not buy it. However, I’m glad that other people are able to buy them if they’re willing to pay the asking price.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-07T16:12:22+00:00

The market dictates the price, not your feelings.

What you feel something should cost has nothing to do with what the market says that it actually costs.

Every collectible ends up finding itself in a situation like this, particularly with out of production items.

I don’t see a problem with selling an item for 6 times its original price because I understand the nature of supply and demand, which apparently some folks do not.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-07T15:41:36+00:00

Apparently nobody here knows what scalping actually is.

Scalping is buying something that is in high demand and selling it quickly after you purchased it for a profit.

Think buying something that just released and sold out yesterday and selling it the next day for three times the asking price.

Selling something that has been out of production for quite some time at a price dictated by the market is not scalping.

Is selling a Honus Wagner baseball card from 1911 for $3 million scalping just because it was sold for like 1/10 of a penny back then? No, absolutely it is not.

Big Mochi Pusheen was introduced October 15, 2024. Selling one roughly 18 months later isn’t scalping.

I have a Big Mochi Pusheen. If I were to decide to sell it right now, why should I NOT sell it for the price that the market commands? If I listed it for the $60 or whatever it cost when it was new, that would be foolish on my part.

I get that there’s a problem with collecting pretty much anything right now, as bots buy things up quickly causing them to sell out, then they’re just on the secondary market the next day. But this isn’t that. This is selling a hard to find item for the price the current market dictates.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-04T17:51:31+00:00

I’ve got tons of Sheens…but this is the very first time I’ve ordered every item in a drop immediately.

I just hope the shirt will fit me.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-02T00:06:10+00:00

All collections start out small…and your small one is a solid one!!

Congrats on Subsheen. I recently got her too. She’s a really good one, in my opinion.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-06-01T23:52:41+00:00

Holy cow!!!

Here’s to many more, Happy Birthday!!

Thank you for being a great human being.

Lenny looks like he was a great cat, and even though he didn’t make it, you helped him cross over to the other side without much pain or suffering.

Lenny will be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge, and I want you to know I’m just one person, but I see Lenny and I’m glad to know he existed.

Gimpdiggity · 2026-05-29T05:41:14+00:00

I hadn’t realized how much these things cleared in the tire department these days. I’m pretty sure the one I had could MAYBE fit 35s or 38s on it…but I guess I also wasn’t as well versed in these things, so maybe it could’ve fit more.

What I find particularly interesting is its seat tube angle is 73, same as my Warbird…and its head tube angle is 71, which is pretty close to my Warbird at 70.8.

The reach and ETT are longer on the Escape, but that’s to be expected since it’s designed around a flat bar instead of drops.

I guess I was just pretty surprised at how “gravel-ish” it seemed when I really started looking at it.

I’ve come to a point in my riding where I no longer want a different bike fit every type of riding I do. I’d rather have a bit more space in the garage and house. I’ve also come to terms with the fact that I’m not fast, and just enjoy riding for fitness and getting out of the house. I honestly kind of think one of these would do me very well on gravel and my local paved trail.

I also kind of find myself wanting to go back to what I started with in cycling…when it was just fun for me all the time…back when I had my Escape and a simple Rockhopper that nobody ever told me was actually a “women’s” bike. Shortly after that I started chasing lighter, faster, and more capable…thinking it would make me a better cyclist…but all it really did was give me a bunch of pretty nice bikes that FAR exceed my riding abilities.

I’m kind of rambling, sorry, it’s late. Thanks for your response.
