And Zapcod, level that seat out. It was easy picking my bike growing up, I couldn't handle having even that much of an angle on my BMX.
Agreed. Also:MAKE SURE YOU DO A THOROUGH TESTICULAR EXAM ON YOURSELF! (if you don't know how to do one, look on the internet, I'm sure there are dozens of sites that can offer instruction). I cannot emphasize this part enough. Often times the first sign of testicular cancer or other problems in that area comes in the form of numbness or tingling. If you're having this problem just 10 minutes into a ride using the WTB saddle (I've tried several different saddles and have found this to be one of the most "supportive" out there) there's something going wrong down there.

Check all of your seat adjustments (height, angle, etc) but, given the potential for problems "down south," go the extra mile and have a professional take a look at your "boys."

I really hope all is well and good luck.
