+1. The OP really does need to provide a bit more info.

No one mentioned it yet, so I will - what about the sprung seatpost? Putting in longer rides on a power robbing pogo stick of a seatpost is not going to help a person's saddle comfort. I went through the OP's previous public thread postings and see where the person's bike is a fairly upright hybrid design. Just by the looks of the photos I saw, they saddle area/cockpit area looked pretty cramped. Perhaps it is for a very small individual but to my eye it does not look very ergonomic.

Overly soft saddles get more uncomfortable the longer you ride - this has been my experience. The sit bones just bottom out on the soft foam. Better to have thin, firm foam in a saddle that is the right shape.
