Saddle too big?

[kittom]

Does this saddle sit too far back or does it look ok, considering the T18 ? Thanks.

Hmmm i say not particularly but your weight distribution isnt to my taste as your butt is too far back and putting too much pressure on the back of a saddle thats almost too big for that back. Just my opinion of course

He looks like he's a little dropped in his posture so, although the saddle looks probably okay in length (hard enough in a photo, even harder with a saddle cloth covering the back rib) it's tipping back and probably adding to any postural difficulties. If you draw a vertical line through your upper body you can see that the weight is going much further back than the middle of the seat - as a guide, if that line goes behind the back of the flap as it comes down, the weight is too far back.
