Well, I rode the to and from work yesterday, 15 miles total. On the way to work the seat felt much better than the seat I had removed, but I got just the slightest hint of some pain in my left hip/sit bone. No big deal for back and forth to work, but I'm planning for longer rides, so I always look at these little aches and pains in terms of, "how will this be in two hours?" So before I rode home I made a slight adjustment in the tilt of the seat. And that did the trick. The seat felt just... well it didn't feel like much at all and that is the key. But I would have to say that the most thrilling part of all was that I experienced zero numbness and/or shrinkage in my junk area!! Now I'm anxious to get out and put a nice long ride on this seat. The goal here is to complete a century ride on this bike at the end of this season FWIW.

You know, additionally, when it comes to finding the sweet spot with a seat, I can't say enough how much I like having this RaceFace seat post that has a separate, infinitely adjustable point for tilt. On my other bikes, even with those teeny, tiny little notches that allow you to change the tilt of the seat, one notch tends to feel like too much tilt one way or the other at some point. When I adjusted this new seat yesterday, the change in tilt was very, very slight, and it worked. I now want this seat and post on all of my bikes.
