My nose is fairly level, maybe a hint of an upward tilt. My DH's saddle nose has an obvious upward tilt. Yes it sounds counter intuitive but don't rule it out as a possible solution. When people come into our shop complaining of saddle discomfort, that is the second thing we do (after measuring sit bones)
We need a chart;
Does anything hurt?
No - good. Ride your bike
Yes - have you had your bike fit?
No - go to your LBS and get it fit.
Yes and I still hurt!!
Did anyone at your LBS measure your sit bones?
No - go back and get your saddle fit
Yes and I still hurt!
Read the cervello/KnottedYet article 4.5 rules of saddle fit , find another shop and get another saddle
Now, does anything hurt?
No - great. Ride your bike
Yes - still rocking the underwear under the bike shorts?
Yes - go commando and ride your bike! ....,
