The other day I posted a video, and I was told to try moving my saddle further back, so i did. The main issue is that I’m feeling a bit of pressure at the front of the saddle.

I was also told to record some video of myself riding in the drops, so here’s that.

I’m still feeling pressure at the front of the saddle, and I find it difficult to get my weight back onto my sit bones.

Could my saddle perhaps be a little too high still?

For reference, I’m 176 cm tall with an 85 cm inseam.

I’ve tried tilting my saddle down just a tiny bit, but it only takes a very small adjustment before I feel like I’m sliding forward on the saddle, which then causes pain in my hands.

I’ve tried countless saddles, and the SQlab saddle I’m using now is by far the best one I’ve ridden.

How does this look to you?

Its a Scott Foil size medium with a 70 mm stem. I’m 176 cm with an inseam of 85 cm, so I have long legs and a short upper body. ☺️

I also measured my arms according to a bike guide, and they’re actually normal, even though they look long 😂😅

The saddle is as forward as it can be and you can’t get a shorter stem and I can’t raise the stem anymore. The small didn’t work because the drop would be too much 😬

On my previous bike the stem was longer and that made me get a lot of pressure in the front of the saddle as I could not get back on my sitbones if that makes sense. With this bike it’s easier for me to sit back on my sitbones.

Overall it feels okay but I do have a little bit of a saddle discomfort on longer rides. (When I reach about 80 km). I have tried a loooooot of saddles and this from SQlab is by far the best for me.
