I'll see what I can accomplish tomorrow.
Yes, large seats are a trade-off. Padding is good for the sore butt, but larger seats are more uncomfortable in the long run unless you have a wide set of sit bones.

FYI, the latest beta fixes the speed/cadence issue with the BlueSC. I just did a ride using the inRide + BlueSC and it imported into Strava with good values for speed/cadence. I guess they've resolved that issue. Now they need to work on giving me confidence in the power calibration again!
