I suppose my "I thinks" etc. were my way of not trying to come across like a know it all and asking for advice. I'm new yes but taking many 30+ mile rides since switching saddles. It was pure misery before and I did give it 100 miles or more to see if I could tough it out. I didn't throw it away, just switched so I could keep riding. I already said I'd like to get a proper fit, just can't afford it and wanted to get it as close as I can for now.
Either way its all good, I'm enjoying my rides and really proud of my progress this year.
