We have seen similar comments from other riders. IMO, saddle comfort should not be a factor in setting survey responses.
TR is NOT using AT to deal with our “comfort”, it is looking at fitness and our actual physical performance with respect to the survey responses.
As I said in the other discussion, saddle comfort should be addressed as a separate issue and in the ideal case, be eliminated entirely from the survey relation.
I will add a link to my saddle pain thread in case you haven’t seen it ot the related suggestions.
