How can I get my saddle to be level after changing the seat post?
I've got a new inline seat post (on recommendation to bring the saddle forward) and the front of my saddle is now at least 2cm higher than the rear and I can't see how I can make it level.
Advice please!

So sayeth the three wise men...
if either of the 3 posts above dosen't help it might be because you have a two bolts for adjusting it.
Rather than one big bolt there are two. One front and one back.TO get the nose down turn the front one clockwise and the back one counter clockwise.
I knew if I waited long enough we'd get there. It does have two bolts. Thank you, Cal.Fe
I'm glad you got it sorted Holly but if that doesnt work try looking under the saddle and you'll see a large allen bolt. Loosen this bolt and wiggle the saddle around. You'll find that it'll tip as well as sliding backwards and forwards. You might have to loosen it quite a bit to make it tip. When it's in the right position, tighten up the bolt. It can be useful to have a second pair of hands to hold it in the right position as you tighten up
tee hee
Holly you are even more of a numpty than me
Either inflate the rear tyre a lot or deflate the front a lot or even do a little bit of both. Whatever floats your boat really. Either way it should do the trick.
FFS How many times have I gotta tell you it's not rocket science ;o)
As you were.
LOL JD!!!
different method, same result
possibly
Not quite full of Xmas cheer yet am I?
As Yule were.

If none of the above suggestions work, you could use a pipe bender on the seat tube. I suggest one of these tools:
Mind you you may have to change the stem on your handlebars for a longer one as doing this may affect the position of the seat a bit.
I think this may not work quite so well if you have a carbon seat tube though. You may need a more comprehensive tool!
don't you have any pockets on your jackets holly?
that is the worst excuse I've heard for not cycling, apart from that old 'it's cold and windy' one
The specialised micro mini seat bags are perfect for racing / training. Space for 2 tubes, 2 cyclinders and a multitool, but don't catch on your thighs.
Oi! Fuck off you wrinkly old prune.
I do have pockets, but they are usually filled with malt loaf Debbo. And I did cold, wet and windy last weekend. Nice is going to be hot and sunny isn't it? Hardly like for like training conditions!
It could be cold in Nice, and if you squash the malt loaf tomorrow you can fit in whatever you need that Vix can't carry for you.
This typeface is awfully smalll now.... oh dear.
