I have an ISM PN 1.1 on my triathlon bike. It looks like a torture device, but it is actually very comfortable. The key thing is to sit on the nose of the saddle with the boys forward of the tip. Perhaps it wouldn't work as well when riding in the more upright position of a mountain bike or city bike.

I was anxious to try an H2 as I am looking to ride long distance rides / brevets. I have used a variety of saddles and have recently put many miles on a Specialized Power Saddle and like it but was concerned it get a little solid and create sit bone ache. I have tried a Brooks Swift (never really broke in) and a Rivet (liked that saddle on another bike) but something I realized about leather is that I cannot move around on the saddle which I like. SA seems highly regarded for brevets. With the H2, my options seem to be tilt the nose down to move around but then I feel the slide forward many note and my arms are quite sore and tired as I have ridden 67 and 100 mile rides with this setup. When I tilt the nose up to prevent slide, I too find too much pressure on the groin and sometimes feel like I get caught on the high nose when sitting back down from out of the saddle. At mile 80, it felt like I was riding on the frame of the H2. I had already tightened it a few times to compensate for stretch. Looks like I only have 1/2" left of bolt and sides are flaring digging into thighs. I have put the Rivet Pearl on this bike and so far that seems to be giving me range of motion and good fore aft placement. I am exploring the lacing for H2, but I suspect I might not be an SA person.

I like SA saddles, as you might guess since I have 5 of them now. I have 2 Fabric saddles on my climbing bikes, and I like those too.

what's your weight if I may ask?
I'm a big guy, the Brooks Cambium c17 I'm using right now is a big disappointment since it's too narrow and curvy for my big ass
shame these come in single size
