Then I went for a fit update at the LBS and they lowered my saddle, and now it's so comfortable I don't even think about it. They also put a shorter angled stem on the bike so my handlebars are closer and higher, which was to solve a problem with my neck and shoulders but could also affect my position on the saddle.
