It is new saddle altered reach. I don't know what the difference is. Like I said, magic! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=978#post-8929 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:56:54 +0000 chdot 8929@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"This is only one variable though, a plain old saddle change""</p> <p>OK, but I thought you were saying new saddle altered reach, so wasn't sure if difference was saddle material, shape or adjustment along saddle rails. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=978#post-8926 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 11:29:27 +0000 Min 8926@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"'Problem' is that it's now difficult to know which of the various variables made the most difference!"</p> <p>This is only one variable though, a plain old saddle change. I'm just surprised at the difference it has made to overall comfort. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=978#post-8923 Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:50:58 +0000 chdot 8923@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Problem' is that it's now difficult to know which of the various variables made the most difference!</p> <p>I wrote this previously -</p> <p>"I think a saddle is the ultimate in personal choice.

What a difference! Not only is it much more comfortable to sit on but the problem I had with the bike being too long and giving me a stiff lower back if I rode it for more than an hour has magically disappeared. Who could have guessed? </p>
