Do you have to balance in your saddle or does it put you there naturally?

Hmmm . . . don't seem to find the edit button or delete on this thread.

I guess this seemed like a dumb question. I've answered most of it by more research and will just visit a shop on my bike and have them show me where I should be sitting.

I just saw this, Luci
a horse's back is always right there; but on a bike there are SO MANY adjustments. Try to make your bike saddle as horizontal as possible
for starters!

Hmm...with my saddle, I can sit anywhere on it without noticing my sitbones. I move around on it. Like you said, moving forward to climb and just different positions for different times (although I seem to spend a lot of time out of the saddle). Anyway, I've never noticed one position where it bothers my sitbones. I say, keep looking!
