manual chair getting used to

Coming from a pc this new ZR2 feels like I am sitting in a spoon. My neck is sore because my posture is different now. I feel like I am falling forward but in the mirror I am clearly leaning back. Would a ADI back help or will it just take time to get used to?

Also, I am not liking being so damn slow. I am used to being in 5th gear wide open. I got to get the ZX1 quick.

Any new chair makes me feel unbalanced for awhile. takes me anywhere from a couple of days to a week before I feel at home after switching. If you don't feel right after a week, it's time to try some adjustments.
