Any suggestions? I have the nose tipped down just a little, and I'm wondering if I need to tip it back up after reading Triskeliongirl's post...

Hey girl, take the piercings off on the bike ride? or have your riding partner wear ear plugs while they ride with you?

my saddle is tipped a tiny bit up from level, it works for me.
