This forum made me decide to experiment some more with fitment, but my experience seems quite different than most of you. I raised my seat over an inch - it kept feeling better and better, until I couldn't quite reach the pedals. That was months ago.
Now I am going to experiment, back on my quest for a more comfortable butt. I am also changing my seat - a Selle Italia Max (I've used it before and it seems mostly OK. I am currently riding a Terry that doesn't quite make it.
So I am going to start by following some traditional suggestions:
- Saddle height at "0.889 x inseam" - 30.9" (down from 32)
- Seat pushed forward - my forearm to finger is 20.25, but my saddle doesn't go that far forward, so I set it at 21.25 (was 22.25")
- Seat angle level - nose was tilted way down
Radical changes all, but every old setting was set by trial and error on rides! Of course every one of those settings were made with the Terry saddle.
