    Hi all i have a Giant Trinity time trial bike and i cant get the right measurements from the tip of the saddle back 5cm to the centre of the crank i reckon i am about 3cm back with the saddle fully pushed back on the rails. There are three settings on the seatpost where you can clamp the saddle on and i have the clamp right and the back.

    Can anybody reccomend a good time trial saddle with longer rails

    I have a FSA Vision. Reasonably cheap TT saddle, good padded nose on it. I like it. Not sure rail length is any different than normal though. To be honest I find it a bit surprising that Giant would make a TT bike which you can't get a UCI-legal saddle position on. Are you sure of your measurements? Are you using a plumb line and then measuring back from the BB centre to that?

    There are also TT saddles like the Adamo that have truncated noses that may be an option. Lumen has one.

    I thought the Trinity had tri geometry? Maybe there's a seatpost option.
