Today felt better on my 23 mile commute. Keeping it looser than optimal tension, which SA says is 6mm at narrowest part of cutout. At 6mm tension, sit bones hurt, then after 20 or so miles the leather stretches out again and feels fine. So I think just better to not retension daily to recommended 6mm spacing so often. I was trying to always keep it there, but stretched out after every ride. Better to just ride until the edges touch and then retension to 6mm only when have to. Hopefully by the time the leather stops stretching out it will be broken in and comfy at 6mm.
