Thanks guys! Sry for my bad english :/ Hope this last post makes more sense
Images online of the saddle are not great in showing the rail marks, there seems a section marked with mm measures... and the the outer limit marks (which seem to designate the extreme ends of the possible flat rail section).
Having some experience with Sella Italia Flite Ti, I would respect the Saddle manufacturer's marks. If you're a heavier rider, say above 75-78 kg, I would keep the last mm scale mark on saddle rail even with or behind the yellow line/rear edge of lower clamp/support. If a much lighter rider, I would be OK with wandering a few mm past the end of the scale.
In any case, certainly keeping the rear mark behind the yellow line.
...I've seen the results of a sizable, shorter rider, who pushed their Flite Ti forward as far as it would go...
Your english is good
Ride On
