Had my first ride on it just now. 30 miles.
When I fitted it, I spent an extra amount of time reconfiguring it, making sure it was dead level and moving it back a bit. This has caused me issues as I now have pain in my lower back, suggesting I guess that the reach is too far?
Positive sides. The saddle is much firmer, even though it is small, the pressure reduction groove has eliminated the pain in my perineum. This is amazing and in a twist of fate, it also means I don't feel like I need a pee every 10 miles, even though I was fully hydrated (as soon as I was off the bike mind, i had to dash!). I also raised the seat post about 5mm higher which has made my legs, especially just about the knees a lot better.
£15, can't complain. Looks good as well. Just need to make some fine adjustments to stop the back pain. Although I am coming down with a cold, so my aches could be coming from that.
