I have never experienced that either, and I ride my gravel bike on really rocky fireroads and singletrack pretty much the majority of every ride. I spent many years only riding a rigid MTB so maybe I'm just used to it, but as my son commented the other day as he was riding behind me, "why do you have a saddle, you never sit down?!" I'm 61 and do get aches and pains from time to time but if anything it'll usually be a stiff neck from long descents in the drops. All that said, I'm on 650Bx47 tubeless running around 18-20 PSI, which helps a lot. And for sure, I can
really feel the difference when I have the pressure up even just slightly higher.
