Did a long 5hr ride on the fake SMP today; think I am a convert. No after ride pain or numbness. Surprising as I have never used a saddle without padding. Had to adjust the setback by -1cm. I have put it slightly nose up atm and it feels right. Arione/Kurve snake wasn't that bad but it restricted me to arch lower back; roll pelvis and get aero. plus I could feel it in the bottom after a long ride.
I have Specialized Power saddle on order to test so will see how it compares to that.
