LOL, "freeball"! That's a new one. Anyhow... yes, commando when wearing padded bike shorts. As for the OP's main question... what exactly is your question? My roadbike's saddle is "hard" but quite comfortable. Don't think that it will be uncomfortable merely because it's harder than the saddle on your MTB. Too soft a saddle can be painful too! I'm sure more qualified posters will make suggestions regarding choosing the right saddle for you: while discarding your new road bike's saddle merely because it's hard isn't wise, it still may not be the right saddle!
