I'm looking for some help in fixing a problem with my saddle on a Scott plasma. The screws that hold the saddle to the seatpost have no "bite", and as a result the saddle angle will move over time as I'm riding it. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Thanks.

blue thread locking stuff? you can get it at home depot near the adhesives. it is a tiny little tube of liquid thread locking agent. the blue can be removed and the red is permanent. but if the screws are stripped, you might be 'screwed'

you could go to home depot with the screws in hand and pick up replacements of the same size and thread count and also replacements the same size and one step down in thread count (ie wider thread spacing). then try them both out to see which holds better. the wider threads may hold better if the original thread pattern has been abused
just a thought...let us know how you end up fixing it

Try locktight first, if that does not work, you might need to have the holes retapped so that the screws will hold. Have a bike shop look at it before you do anything permanent.
