Hi John, I currently have the S83 (26.8) on my Atlantis. I actually own a beautifully lugged S84, but that lives on my Sam since it is a 27.2 and won’t fit in my Atlantis’ seat tube. That’s probably why I don’t have this issue with my Sam on drop bars! Andrew, Gorgeous! Can’t wait to get Cra

First, which seat post do you have on there now? If you already like your saddle, I would suggest trying a seat post with more set back, such as the lugged Nitto S84 (4cm set back?). I have a Nitto S84 under my Berthoud saddle, set all the way back, on my Hunqapillar, with a 12cm Nitto NP s

Ah, interesting. So on leather saddles it looks like it limits the stretching so it last longer. I don't know that there is much stretching to prevent on the Cambium saddles, but if enhances the ride I guess it makes sense. I wonder if it would help prevent the cracking that some Cambiums get?
