I dropped my handlebars down a half inch below and the numbness issues really became apparent. I have since raised them back up and now my saddle and I are on the mend though I won't say it's been an easy or a pleasant experience for me and I still may consider changing to another saddle all together but I want this saddle to work for me and I'm willing to give it a little more time.
