I needed a new saddle and decided to try out the Deva after all the NSMB-hype. I set it up as I have my earlier saddles, quite far forward and with an ever so slight downwards tilt on the nose. First couple of rides I really didnt find it all that great ass-wise, and I got bruises on the inner thigh of my rearward leg from contacting the rather wide profile of the saddle.
Then I re-read this article and set it up as Andrew, putting it farther back on the rails and tilting the nose a wee bit upwards, and DAMN that felt so much better. Taking some deep slurps of the Deva-Kool-Aid now.
Makes me wonder how many saddles riders (myself included) put in the hatchet-category due to poor setup.
