The big problem is that the reach on my bike is a hair too long, so until I can get a proper fitting and a new stem (or change the angle on my adjustable stem, but I'm not exactly amenable to that), I tweaked the saddle position earlier this summer. While it does put more weight on my arms because it stretches me out a bit more, the parts are happy. He's trying to compensate for the reach. This results in pain.
