It sounds like you may have your seat too upright. The highracers are
intended to have a lot more reclined seating than other bents
with 'tractor seats'for lack of better words. 23º-28º incline is
common. More reclined seating distributes your weight across the seat
rather than concentrating your weight on your posterior.

Good luck!
