Excuse the exhumation of the dead thread, but I'm hoping maybe someone has some advice.

I have an S-A X1 and it's extremely comfortable. I like to ride without padded shorts and the saddle allows this without issue. However I do have one major issue with it and it's significant. When I pedal at a high cadence, the saddle becomes very bouncy and I feel like I have no support. I end up pushing my butt back onto the metal frame so that I have something solid to push from. This is the only leather saddle I've used, and I mostly love it, so I don't know whether this is simply how hammock-style saddles work or if a saddle with thicker leather, say the H-2, might ameliorate this bouncing problem. And, yes, I've adjusted the tension according to S-A's instructions.

Any insights or advice?
