And even if so, won't that change for different styles of riding and effort levels, so we'd abandon any compromise we'd have with other saddles?
That's the idea I had in mind when I said it might be nice for my stationary bike. On the road, sit bone discomfort is rarely the limiting factor in saddle comfort, probably because of the variability in position, effort level, and all the little bump displacements.
Still, if all else were equal, I'd be interested to try a moldable saddle.
