I tried the saddle thing already. I spent a couple of hours last night on the trainer trying different combinations of fore/aft and tilt adjustments. Having the seat tilted slightly nose-up helps, but any more than slightly up and you get into problems with not having enough room for certain sensitive body parts. Hence, the idea of raising the bars.

I guess my main question is, will the riser in my REI link fit onto the threadless steer tube on the Trek Pilot 1.0?
