    I'm curious about this too. I've bought and am quite happy with the Jett, but it's a dang hard saddle and if I sit for a long time (3 hrs.+) I get quite bruised and numb. But it's not soft tissue getting squished, just the bones I'm supposed to be sitting on in the first place.

    I'm fine on harder faster rides, though, cause I move around more, stand more and pedal harder so there isn't as much steady pressure.

    I had the same problem with the jett.. but I figure its because i had/have the 143 and need the 155. I think maybe my bones were just on the very outside edges rather than right in the center of the pads where they ought to be. I did really like the soft tissue relief it provided.
    ...never met a bike that I didn't wanna ride.
