Even a tiny amount of tilt like 1mm can make a difference. When I have a new saddle I'm stopping multiple times to adjust it. The last one I bought I was making adjustments of just 1/4 of a turn on the clamp bolt. If your actual sitbones hurt then the saddle may be too narrow or your butt just isn't used to long periods of time in the saddle, the flesh that covers them needs to toughen up. I can be comfortable on almost any size and shape of saddle, flat, curved, doesn't matter except for super narrow ones.
This is very wise advice.
I just put a new saddle on one of my bikes. Took it out for 25 mile ride for the sole purpose of adjustment - hills, long straights, etc. I lost track of the number of times I stopped in the first five miles, got it close and then tweaked it several times over the course of the rest of the ride.
[MENTION=133361]Lazyass[/MENTION] is absolutely correct. Adjustements of less than 1mm make a difference. When it is right the saddle will "disappear" and you'll forget that its even there. Adjusting it is a process.
