[Yak] Saddle ribbing against rear deraileur

[Mark Choi]

I have my saddle set at the lowest and if I leave the chain on the smallest
cog, the saddle does hit the derailleur.  If I have it on the largest rear
cog, it doesn't.

Not sure how you could go about to fix it, other than shift it to lowest
gear before you fold.
