Expert Posts: 1631 Location: Somewhere around here	I read somewhere on here that when your riding in a padded seat your size can feel smaller and with a harder seat it can feel larger. How true is that statement? I can kinda see it and understand it though. I'm wanted a hard seat with my next saddle but now I'm wondering if I should order a half size smaller...
