Saddle return policy (TeamEstrogen)

[mudmucker]

I think what I find myself doing is pushing backward on the saddle.

Ah, the same thing would happen to me. I kept pushing back on the saddle. That's why John tilted it up a little, because I kept sliding forward into the concave/hammock part of the saddle and it threw everything off. It helped tremendously, but again, there is that fine line of too much and front parts get pressure. Tilting it forward for me, put too much weight on my arms.

Another symptom of pushing back on the saddle is that your stem might be too short. That is, if you already have the fore and aft set to your liking. JaneE you bring up an interesting point; my fore-aft was set, but one would think to move the saddle forward if you keep pushing back. It's a little counter-intuitive, but John actually gave me a longer stem. I think because one essentially might have too much proportional weight to the front and you want to keep pushing back from it. A longer stem put me at least, at such an angle that more of my weight was placed to the back part and I didn't push back anymore or move around as much.

This may or not be your case. And getting in a slightly more aggressive position might not be where you're at, or maybe it aggrevates something else. Lots of things to balance.
