Everything from Cutout, split, leather and women's (I'm male) and still nothing works. I've raised it, I've lowered it. Everything I try seems to work for about 1 or 2 rides (maybe a placebo effect) and then I'm back where I started. After about 20 minutes into a ride I get the sensation that it's happening again.

As I stated above, I feel like I should be experienced enough to solve this problem but I'm flummoxed.

One numb rider,

Since you've ruled out position and saddle type, there doesn't seem to be anything else. As suggested, it must be time for a 'bent.
