Re: [RC] Back pain when riding - Advantage Saddles

<A common source of back pain while riding is the back of the saddle too
high, because it tips your pelvis forward. >
Very true, seat shape is critical to rider comfort.  The seat ideally should
support the pelvic area with a natural tilt, the front being a tad higher
than where the seatbones rest.  If the seat is too flat, the pelvis tilts
forward and makes the low back hollow and sore.
