I have tried a shorter stem. (Sorry still working on what all the bike parts are). The man at the bike store is suggesting a bigger angled stem, putting me in a more upright position. This concerns me somewhat because when I am working hard, I have a tendency to lean farther forward. Bad technique? But that certainly won't fix the problem.

The woman at the bike store (actually she's a purchasor that occassionally works the floor) says to keep working at finding a seat I like.

My husband says a little discomfort is to be expected.
