Two bolts, but side by side instead of front and rear. Unless your torqued the crap out of it one big pot hole would cause the saddle to tilt. Additionally, I found minor adjustments to be frustrating. I figured it would not be a keeper for the long run so I sold it before it got chewed up.

Strangely, I found a thudbuster was the perfect solution of rme. Lots of setback, micro adjustment, and suspension to boot. Big and heavy, of course. On another bike, the bent Thomson.

These problems had to do with using a Brooks B17. As I use Ergon pro carbon saddles on my fast rider bikes the set backs available are fine as is.
