4. Level the saddle and go ride. You should not have much hand pressure and there should be minimal pressure on the perineum.

There's more, but hey, it's yoga! This is usually a good stopping point. Remember to write down the dimensio
How much hand pressure (on the brifters) should there be? I estimate about 10 lbs per hand. Is that too much or too little? Which way to move the saddle to reduce hand pressure?
