So I'm stuck between two non perfect saddle positions, level/horizontal and tilted up too far. It's kinda cold now and the titled up position is causing some pain down bellow. When it's level/horizontal I'm sliding forward. I could dial it in on a micro adjust seat post but with a macro clamp I don't have many options. Anyone have an idea how to get something in between? I'm thinking about some kind of shims on the rails or something. I could post pics to better explain but I'm guessing you guys understand the issue. It's a brooks saddle and tilted up is the way to go, just can't get the right angle with this clamp. What can I do?
 
Is this one of the modern deals integral to the post? :? Some of the old style clamps can be flipped for a couple of degrees difference, but I have no clue how to change the modern ones.
 
No, the separate clamp. They only have so many notches in them that you're stuck with 3 positions tilted up, straight or down. Trying to find some way to give me more options. Would use the modern type of seat post if I could find it in the right diameter, 7/8, don't think it exists. Maybe weld a modern one to an old post?
