Subject: RE: Specific saddle question for the ladies You can do a search here on BT for lots of threads on this topic. Sounds like a cut out is needed. How do you ride most of the time? On drops? on hoods? Makes a big difference in your position on the saddle. I get a new saddle about every 1-2 years as the more I ride the harder saddle I like. I used to ride the Terry Butterfly tri gel now that saddle feels like I'm wearing a diaper..can't stand it. I ride different saddle for road, cross and tri bikes. My body is in different position so there are different issues. Tri bike with your hips rolled you can have pressure on your soft tissue that is painful even if you are sitting mostly on your sitz bones. I ride this Selle SMP Glider..huge cut out so no part of my soft tissue touches the saddle. It is expensive and takes some time to get used to but I can ride 8 hours and not be sore at all when done. |
