Hoping to nip any problems before they come up.
    Thanks!

    Try doing a >50 mile ride before you decide to get a new saddle.

    New saddle

    Stellar1 here. I just purchased a Vitesse Sport saddle yesterday and am planning (for better or worse!) a long ride today. This saddle replaces a Terry Butterfly which was pinching places I'd rather not have pinched. This new saddle appears harder so I hope it's going to be OK. I like aerobars so have more weight forward when using them. LBS gave me a lecture on riding back further on the saddle so I'm more on sit bones.

    Off on long ride now. Hope new saddle is OK.

    Stellar 1:
