Does the back rest tilt back and forth or just up and down? It's hard for me to ride unless my back is at an angle.

It does sit straight upwards, it does not tilt back. The back rest is small against the back but it does work better for the back rather than having no support at all

I would describe the adjustment options as up and down more than back and forth. I hope this information helps. Thank you for contacting us.

the back is conected to the bottom of the seat. the only way you would have to tilt the seat and the nose of the seat would be up in the air

Does not tilt - just goes up and down. The mechanism for the up & down action isn't super robust either - kinda slides up and down even after the knob has been firmly tightened (slick plastic clamp on slick metal tubes). This is not a really great quality seat - pretty low quality Chinese product - but it is cheap so can't expect too much. Good luck.

If you are sitting in the chair, reach down to the right and pull the locking tilt control arm straight out to your right then lean back. It's either straight up and down or all the way back. There does not seem to be any setting in between.

I think if I can get the seat stabilized it will be comfortable. Have tightend the screws as noted above. Up/down movement has stopped, but the seat still moves left to right when riding. Anyone else having this problem?

no the back does not move up and down, It has a minimal tilt feature for the back but barley noticeable. great chair !

yes and no. kind of hard to explain, but it has an adjustment, but what happens is the back moves also. so you can adjust the seat at an angle but very little, to no adjustment, its more for the back than the seat angle. The back moves with it as one. so it kind of defeats the pourpose. i find it not very good.

You cannot adjust the recline of the seat back. The seat, as a unit, slides forward and backward only. Note that the rail it sits on has a slight incline front to back so sliding it back also raises it up slightly.

I have noticed a very very slight tilt. It's only noticeable if I pull my feet off the ground and lean the chair all the way back. If I do that it will start to spin very slowly. I figured that it was due to the fact that I lean it pretty heavy anyways and I am 6'4" and 350lbs, so not a little person. Other than that the padding and stitching and everything else is still in fantastic shape. I have only had it for 6 months but I spend probably 12+ hours a day in it.

You cannot hold the tilt on this chair. You can either lock the tilt upright by pushing in the lever under the seat or pull out the lever and the tilt will adjust according to the pushback from your back. Remember you cannot lock the tilt. It will sit upright the minute you release the pressure from your back.

You can see the pin holes that make it height adjustable. I don't know about the angle, and not sure why you'd want to. It sits up straight, and after adjusting for my heights, it sits perfectly. I can ride for hous with it, and I have a serious bad back! It folds forward for easy on/off for the rider.

There is no seat tilt forward aspect to the chair. The seat tilts back, but then it stops at a point (where it should) when you go forward again. So there is nothing to adjust there. Those who are saying that the seat is tilting forward may have gotten a defective chair. Mine is fine FWIW. The seat is either completely level or it leans back if I want it to.

Honestly I don't recline it very often. I havent had any issues with it at all.

The seat does recline a little bit. There is a lever below the front part of the seat that allows you to tilt the entire seat back (cannot tilt just the back rest).

Good question, it can lock in an upright position so there is no tilting back but there is not the option of moving it past the upright position and tiling it any more forward. Hope that helps! It is a very comfortable and durable chair.

There is no way for it to tilt. Sits flat, only adjustment is the height. Just a note, it is fairly comfortable for a hard seat.

The seat back adjusts up and down, but the angle relative to the seat bottom is fixed. When the seat is moved forward, it also moves downward, since it rides a downward sloping bar. Move it back, and it also moves up.

It doesn't tilt much. It goes from horizontal to about 45 degrees down. I doesn't tilt up.

The seat actually tilts. The seat and the backrest are fixed in relation to each other. When you lean back, the backrest goes back and the seat part tilts up to stay with it.
