All I can say is, 'THANKS!' Obviously, I completely forgot about the ability to change the angle of the saddle, and there's no saying if or when I'd have remembered without your suggestions.

I just got back from my first ride after tipping the saddle nose up a little bit, and my butt pretty much stayed where I put it. 2ndary effects include: 1) I stretched out more; 2) did some riding on the hoods; and 3) felt more stable throughout the whole ride, even though the 2nd half of it was into the teeth of an 11 mph wind.

Lots of changes to setup over the past year, especially in the saddle area. I weigh a lot more than I used to, and I'm a wee bit shorter.
