Saddle height and tilt is often a cause of saddle sores. If you are not stable on the seat, you will have friction. If the seat is too high, you will generally compensate by dropping one side, which can be the cause of recurring saddle sores on one side. Too far forward? Possible. Get your fit rights and beware a too high saddle. I had saddles sores on tours, until I dropped my saddle height. Now I am much more comfortable, and had no saddle sores on my last tour in June. Once you get it right, ignore anyone who tells you your seat is too low. https://www.stevehoggbikefitting.com...ard-can-it-be/
