I'm aware the saddle is supposed to be level, when I moved it back last night I adjusted the seat to make it more level. As far as the "death grip", It's not something I do, most of the time I'm just resting my palms on the bar, thumb on top fingers barely touching, I'm not holding on to keep from falling back wards or forward.
The adjustments seen to have helped---some. I still think some different hand positions and or grips would help.
Still open to suggestions for fit and grips.
Thanks all.
