Back a long time ago when I was getting use to riding again after a quite a few years of almost no riding, I played the saddle swap game for a few months. When I finished and found the saddle I liked, I noticed it wasn't much different than the original saddle that started me looking for saddles. I used that saddle on another bike later.
I'm not exactly sure which riding position I prefer or will be using most often 😅so I don't know if there is a better one to plan on (like make sure the saddle fits when I am more upright). The bike I purchased has aero bars, and I tested them out and like using them, but I don't know whether I'll *always* use that position?
Finding the correct saddle definitely seems like a complicated endeavor. I just adjusted the saddle height (I knew it was too high, but I didn't have time to adjust it before my first ride), and I do feel something is "off." It's definitely related to my sit bones, not rubbing skin or anything like that. Maybe the seat is too firm for me? I'm about to go on my second ride, so I'll see how it does today.
