So, where
are the sit bones supposed to be positioned on the saddle?
I've decided to give a little more time to this saddle. My bike will be in the shop until at least Tuesday for its first check-up and that will give me time off the bike.
I still want to know how the bones themselves feel better after more time on the bike. Bones are hard... do they form a callous? Or do the tissues between them and the skin form scar tissue that gets tougher with time? (I always gotta know "how?" and "why"?)
