Besides which, the only way the front of a saddle is going to give you a "blister" or a sore is if
either the height, the angle, or both are incorrectly adjusted. I actually have a fair amount of
personal experience with this; in my case I had the saddle about 2 mm too high, which was causing me
to rock and squirm over the front of the saddle.
Incidentally, I heartily endorese the Bag Balm recommendation.
