Additional notes on saddle positions.
Adjustments has to be tried and tweaked during the 1st ride after installing a saddle.
Shift the saddle too forward or too far backwards aching or numbness in the testicle area will be felt.
Have the nose of the saddle tilt too high there will be stress at the area between the testicle and the penis after a while.
Have the nose of the saddle tilt too low and the butt will keep sliding down when braking the bike to slow down.
Seat post set too high up stress will be felt at the area between the testicle and inner thigh area.
Have the saddle tentatively installed at a neutral position and do a test ride on it with saddle adjustment tool at hand.
Adjust accordingly until the ideal saddle position is felt.
