What are us mountain bikers to do? The geometry of almost all bikes (except cross country) is set mostly to benefit handling ability while standing with the seat lowered; seated pedalling comfort is secondary. Also dropper posts don't have options for lay back or lay forward which removes a further level of adjustability.
I regularly ride my 170mm bike for 4-6 hours at a time, which mostly consists of grinding up steep fire roads and then descending on trails. My ass is usually in quite a lot of pain by the end and I have to tilt my saddle forward a lot to avoid the dreaded penis numbness. I don't know of any bike shops in my city that allow you to trial saddles. How the fuck do I find something comfortable??
