So tonight I talked to a friend who is a bike shop manager and a triathlete who recommended totally different ones. First said Looks, triathlete said the shimanos and not the speed plays. So confusing.

Consensus please!! No...? Oh...

I just don't want to have to think about it!

Should I swap out for a different cassette? I'm getting ahead of myself. I've gotta be able to get on it first.

Re saddle: yes it's the Jett. The original ruby pro I tried had the same. The others were indeed the Lithia.

Y'all have been awesome.
