While I agree with the notion of one thing at a time. I'm not surprised, as many report, that seat position changes follow shortly thereafter. Saddle tilt is an adjustment many riders make when moving deeper into road riding. As the miles accumulate, as the OP reported, the rider gets progressively more comfortable with a lower position. This lower position rotates the hips forward and can make the saddle nose feel uncomfortable.
