This is worth some "butt-gauge" testin...
I was wonderin that myself.
I'm loath to screw with my Roubaix Elite setup considerin the wonderous nature of the ride. But maybe it would be worth using an alloy post/seat and swapping back and forth between the carbon and alloy whilst running the same bumpy road section (and maybe include a 3rd option - Rockshox sus seatpost). Considerin I really need to back off on any hard ridin this week, it might be the opportune time to really screw things up on my bikes...
