I put some NN up and back risers on the bike, mainly after recommendations from 2Wheelhumvee. This stems from the ridiculous angle of my handlebars and ways to alleviate the problmem, as Steve said, the risers are cheap enough and easy to sell if I don't like them.
Yesterday was my first real run out with them, did about 3 hours and my bum was sore after 2 of them.
Prior to this I had done 6 hours without any discomfort so clearly ones riding position is of utmost importance, maybe more than the actual seat. I have been totally enamoured with my Sargent seat until yesterday. The risers are coming off tomorrow!

Maybe the "back" bit is the problem? - I have some 35mm Wunderlich straight risers - just enough give in the lines/cables etc to allow the bar ends a slight drop.
