[KnottedYet]

KnottedYet - are you saying the front of the saddle should be tilted up?? I think thats how I got the back sore spot.

Nope, not at all. I'm referring to sliding the saddle BACK toward the rear tire. Moving it back in the seat post clamp. Sliding it back on the rails. Slipping it hindward. Movin' on back. Aft-ward direction. Fore-aft placement.

Don't mess with tilt. Tilt is a whole 'nother universe. I'm talkin' saddle position. Keep that puppy level. Don't play with tilt until you get fore-aft settled.

Go find a copy of Andy Pruitt's Complete Medical Guide for Cyclists. It is a very valuable resource!

Did you take your A+P at LCC or JCC? (LCC RULZ!!!) Remember the tibial tuberosity? Arrange the fore-aft placement of the saddle such that when you are comfortably settled on the saddle and one of your pedals is in the forward horizontal postion your tib tub on the forward leg is just behind the pedal spindle. If your tib tub is goofy (like if you have Osgood's), use the ant pat as your reference. Andy Pruitt uses the ant pat, which puts the actual joint line behind the spindle anyway.
