I will say that I have had a hard time adjusting the saddle - I actually have to ride a bit nose high because otherwise, I slide forward and have a lot of weight in my hands. Fortunately, there is a ... well... a little valley (?) between the back and the nose when I have it that way and I rarely hurt myself... I still am not convinced the saddle is really adjusted correctly. Actually, I was going to mess with it this afternoon and also take off my studded tires. I just don't think we are getting winter this year...
