Well, turns out this team pro is defective. I think that was part of the issue. The 1st time I had it on for a few days and when I took it off checked the level and it was tilted up a bit.

In between that I had it on for a few very short test rides.

So put it back on last night and made sure it was pointed just a bit down.

We did a 12 mile ride tonight and about halfway through the ride was thinking the saddle it really putting a lot of pressure on me. So hop off the bike and look and it was clearly pointed up. Was thinking maybe I didn't tighten it enough, so took out my allen key and fixed it again. Did it quick, but made sure it was pointed down and tightened it really good. Get to my destination, look at the saddle and it was pointed up again!!

Took the seatpost apart and wanted to see what was going on. I noticed the rails on the team pro aren't spaced properly.

Attached some pics. 2 completely different seat posts for reference, and the saddles that are correct are a b17, and wtb sst.

I guess it wasn't allowing the seat post to clamp properly and saddle kept slipping. Already wrapped up and going back.
