Heh.

One of my fit things was to try the saddle. I was thinking of the set back rule, which I violate by a wide margin (I had 4mm, not cm, setback after moving the saddle back 1 or 2 cm). The whole "letter of the rule" kind of guilt thing. I know I don't fall under UCI auspices because I don't race at an elite level but still, I'd like to bring my bike to some kind of spec. The bar height relative to the front tire is my other big thing, probably have to get a higher BB frame, but I can't do that right now.

Bought one off eBay, had to wait for the choices to sort of "reload" (anyone who is looking for a specific item on eBay knows what I mean). Tried it last night, was invisible to me. I think I'm at 4.5 cm set back, that's what I'd expect from the fit measurement stuff.

I feel a lot more stable on the saddle now, between the insoles and the wider support saddle.
