Your message mimicked a style often used by posters trying to promote commercial products on
non-commercial newsgroups. And you posted it four times. That's why you were met with hostility.

To answer your question, noseless saddles -- a concept that has been failing for decades, only to be
resurrected by some new marketing genius -- are unsuitable for use on any bike being ridden in any
but the most sedate, upright manner. The nose of a saddle is an important element in controlling a
bike in turns.

If you're having comfort issues with your current saddle, post about them and people here can help
you solve them.

Thanks for responding. When I posted it my machine froze up and I tried several times. It turned out
that it posted all of them. I thought I had deleted them but I guess I missed a few. Anyway the seat
I have is very comfortable. The problem is after riding for 50 or more miles the you know what takes
awhile to start working again. I thought that "the seat" would solve the problem. It did however as
everyone stated I discovered that I did not have as much control over my bike and I lost some speed
as well so I took it off and put back my old saddle. Again thanks for taking the time to answer.

Your seat is adjusted incorrectly.

Moove it in small increments, up, down, angle up/down, fore aft...until that problem goes away.

That is a problem. The seat you have is not as comfortable as you suggest.

Numb-nuts, or however you want to euphemize it, is usually the result of a mis-adjusted saddle or
position. The best advice would be to go to a good shop that can do a "fit kit" on you to see if
there is something that can be done to improve your riding position.

Some seats are too soft, which can contribute to the problem. Too-hard seats are not really the
problem, though they can cause pain at your "sit bones" as you acclimate to the harder seat.

We get lots of posts about seats like that, and they are usually spam. This was exacerbated by the
fact that you posted it repeatedly and did not offer any useful information; and by the fact that
such seats are terrible.

With your name being "m", you sure looked like a spammer.

New to newsgroups? Posting with your regular email address can result in excessive spam being sent
to said address; spam bots scour newsgroups for addresses to harvest. As a result, people use
protected email addresses, and very liberally add suspicious posters to their blacklists.
