I had been using Aero Road's solid original saddle (Selle Italia SLR) and recently acquired the widely-proven Specialized Power saddle. Since the Power saddle has a short nose and raised rear type, I first asked ChatGPT about the fitting method, and it recommended fitting it like this compared to a standard long-nose saddle.
| Front-back | +10 ~ +15mm forward
| Height | -2mm
| Angle | -1° ~ -2°
Just to be sure, I asked the same question to Gemini, and it gave the exact opposite suggestion, recommending to push the saddle back 2-3cm for setup. From that point on, confusion started, and a long and lengthy debate unfolded over the two opinions. After 5-6 exchanges, it ended, and Gemini gave the conclusion below. ㅋㅋ
Final Conclusion
ChatGPT's victory. Replacing with a short-nose saddle should be viewed not simply as 'parts replacement' but as **'an evolution of riding position'**.
To properly feel the performance of the new Power Comp saddle, I strongly recommend first applying ChatGPT's philosophy of **"forgetting your existing position and sitting more aggressively forward"**.
