Another good point. Dogma says guys should have the saddle tilted level or slightly up. Mine is level on the Coda, but is tilted down on the Forge, and both feel comfortable. When the Forge saddle was level, there was way too much pressure between my legs while in the drops, which made things uncomfortable. Now the saddle is tilted down a few degrees, suddenly, the drops no longer feel like a form of punishment (except in the back of my neck, which I'm still learning to hold up).

pedal like mad until you cant handle it anymore and then hit the front brake.

This is what I do when I'm bored and feeling like I'm not taking advantage of my dental benefits.

All I do is grab my 'change' and move it up and over. That way it sits on my leg/ hangs off the side of the sadle in front of my leg..

If I don't.. Ouch

if i've got a large hill to go up , i'll try to get as much speed off the downhill as i can. no hill to go up, i try to slow things down...feel free to point out how obvious this is and make a witty comment


also, i'm glad there is now a sub-thread about, erm, "assets"

+1. If your giggle berries are getting mashed its probably a matter of seat angle. Proper bicycle set up for men is that the front of the saddle should be slightly higher than the back of the saddle. If you place a yardstick running from front to back on the saddle you should be able to see the angle pretty easy. Personally, I found the best way to determine if your saddle is at the right angle is to ride with no hands and trying not to squeeze the saddle with your thighs and see if you slide forward any. If you slide forward, tilt it up, if you slide back either tilt it down or if its comfortable leave it alone.
