Hi all,

any advice or suggestions as to how best to set up the stubby nose style saddles? I'm trying a Pro Stealth Carbon saddle right now. Did my first 30 miles on it this morning. Seemed pretty good for the inaugural voyage. I set it back from nose to bars by 1.5cm which seems to be about how much shorter than my usual saddle is. I felt a little more pressure on my hands than I'm used to though. Not sure if I should tilt up a bit, right now I have it essentially level. The saddle is billed as being good for aggressive positioning, certainly much more comfortable in the drops than my last, even though I have a saddle to bar drop of slightly less than 3 inches.

Anything that's worked for you, please let me know so that I can continue to experiment!

When I first put on my Pro Stealth, I matched the distance from the center of the stem to the widest point on my previous (standard) saddle. If I remember correctly, the difference from center to tip was 3cm. I prefer a slight downwards tilt of the Pro Stealth but not as much as would be needed with a standard saddle for a given saddle-to-bars drop.

When I switched to my Specialized Power saddle from a traditional saddle, I moved the nose back 3cm.
