Saddle fore aft position - numbness
Discussion
Hoping someone might be able to explain this for me. When i'm riding on the turbo, I can ride for 2 hours with little numbness at a natural cadence for maximum power (around 77-79rpm) up to around 85rpm. Once I start doing high cadence, I find myself shifting forward on the saddle (riding on the rivet if there was one) and spinning the legs up to 100rpm. I can maintain the high cadence but after a few minutes I can feel numbness in my right leg as saddle is pressing inside of my sit bones (due to shifting forward).
Is this a saddle fore/aft positional problem or just an unnatural cadence for me? I've tried 3 or 4 saddles now with and without cutouts and it happens with any of them when doing this.

Shouldn't be the case - typically you move forward to put out more power; try dropping the resistance further.
Failing that, if you're determined to increase your cadence, do it in steps. Not everyone is suited to riding at 95-100rpm, one size does not fit all. Get to a point where 85 is normal/comfortable, then add 10 and so on..
