After trying 120+ saddles, I'm convinced such a thing does not exist . . .

Someone had to say it.

I'm always changing my bike fit, FWIW. Right now I'm in the process of putting longer stems on all my bikes, because I've become a big fan of having a lot of reach. Before that, I was constantly messing with seat height, changing gearing before that, moving brake hoods around, and stripping paint I had gotten tired of before that.

I will never run out of things to adjust, especially on 8 different bikes. It's one of the things about the hobby I love the most, having absolute control over every possible setting on my bikes, without having to convince anyone else that it's a good idea, I just do it and see if it works for me or not.
