Thanks for the input. Actually, the seat is reclined as far back as is possible without having the Bachetta seatbag scrape the rear wheel. Like I had mentioned, its reclined angle is roughly the same as is that on my other bike which has a Rans mesh seat. The Rans seat causes no recumbutt at all. The Euromesh is a new seat that came with the new SWB bike recently purchased. If it is true that more recline is necessary, I will only be able to do that by removing the seatbag (or getting a different seat). Perhaps the relative narrowness of the Euromesh (as compared to the Rans) could be of issue?
