    NY Biker, you are a plethora of info. I just test rode a bike, and this was probably the problem. I would have ripped that puppy off of there and started over with a different saddle!

    Moving around on the saddle isn't necessarily a bad thing, is it? I find I do it a lot at the beginning of the season, and less as my core muscles strengthen as the summer goes on.

    Have you tried a Brooks? I find mine very forgiving.

    I only know this because it recently happened to me! I emailed the fit guy at the LBS to ask if he had any suggestions, and he replied that the nose might be crooked, and he was right.
