Yeah figuring all this out from this wonderful forum; based on that I've ordered the ISM saddle as it helps in achieving all this you said and the rest is bike fit and positioning I've read. In fact the problem is getting resolved slowly but surely everyday as I ride more, I'm making a conscious effort to sit back on the saddle and that's helping the most. My original saddle was soft and cushy and set up very badly, that is what caused all the damage. With the change to prologo, nose down and sitting back, the issues are getting resolved but still wanna go with the ISM to not load the undercarriage at all
