Stupid question, but are you actually sitting on the saddle in such a way that you're letting it take a good amount of your weight? I only ask because I had a similar problem, and had had a couple of fits which hadn't addressed it; it was only when I realised that out on the road, with winds and trying to ride efficiently (as opposed to on the jig), I was pulling down into the bars and rolling miles forward on the saddle. With a slightly longer and lower stem, and actually making sure I used the saddle to take some weight, the hand discomfort went away, and I got much better glute engagement to boot.

Bit of a funny one, been riding my awol for a while, but starting to feel a bit to much weight on hands.
Saddle (Phenom) is quite far back on a layback seatpost, and the AWOL has a whopping TT already (with a 70mm stem). Saddle is flat, slight nose up. Also tried a Bontrager Verse Comp, same issue.
Height is ok, no straight legs etc.
Typically is I'd think next step would be size up frame, but that would be massive.
6ft, 86cm inseam, large frame.
Thoughts? Can't really move the saddle back, and thinking a 60mm stem (or 50) might be a bit tooo short.
