Well I kept it on the carbon seatpost and made it level again. I noticed that when I put it as far back as it will go, the distance from the front of the saddle to the bars is the same as on my butterfly, but the back is closer since the saddle is shorter. My KOPs looks good, so the plan was to try this out this morning, but its raining and our group ride was cancelled. I also applied profride overnite. I am worried if I feel pressure on the nose just sitting in the trainer, this is gonna hurt riding, but it seems you guys want me to just try it like this on a ride. Bill Laine enclosed a note with the saddle (very nice personal touch) in which he said if it felt too hard to loosen the tension 1/2 a turn for the first 100-200 miles and then tension it back up. I also read somewhere to not mess with the tension. What do you guys think I should do for my first real ride? Can I learn anything on the trainer, or do I just need to see how I feel on a real ride (i.e. should I see how the more laid back seatpost feels). Maybe pressure will not be as bad as the chafing I got from my butterfly. If the weather clears I'll try a short ride this afternoon.
