No I think tilting it up a bit at the front keeps your sitbones where they're supposed to be, back on that wide part in front of the rivets. Yeah I don't know when the slipperiness fades. Somewhere early on (~500 miles) it is mostly gone, but my current one, ~7k miles along, is slick to some cotton cargo pants I've been wearing lately.
