Threads to debate saddle nose angle.

I keep changing my setting , when horizontal (0°) I feel more comfortable on the bike and ride better but the mallet handling get harder especially on passes and it seems I always kind of hit the ground.

Saddle nose up a bit , it’s a bit less comfy but it seems that I can hit the ball more consistently.

What are your thoughts?

saddle nose slightly downward but its a triatlon one so the padding on the nose is similar to the rest of the saddle body, it helps to move forward as much as i want.
