Extreme Veteran  1190    Silicon Valley |  Subject: Numbness in the groinI posted this in the gear section but I don't know how often it gets viewed (since I rarely look there). So please forgive the double post. Lately as my ride length increases I am getting numbness in the groin area. A guy local here has a Planet Bike A.R.S. (Anatomic Relief Saddle ) Classic Saddle for sale. Anyone have any experience with this particular saddle or any other recommendation for that matter? Thanks in advance. |

Regular 606 Portland, Oregon | Subject: RE: Numbness in the groin The common recommendation is any split nose saddle...adamo, cobb, sitero. My tri bike came with an adamo and the numbness that hit consistently on my old saddle was drastically lessened. I still need to shift around every now and again, but even that is getting more rare. MY advice: split nose saddle and a lot of time riding it. Good luck, hope you feel better (or at all!) |

Expert 1053 Culpeper, VA | Subject: RE: Numbness in the groin Proper seat, fit, saddle position, shorts... more time in the saddle. Any combination of these things can help with this, problem worth solving.  Early in my road bike days I found that I had to toy with my saddle position, nose down helped. I currently ride with a saddle with a cutout.. no direct pressure on the perineum. |

Extreme Veteran 959 Greenwood, South Carolina | Subject: RE: Numbness in the groin Buy a small level and check the level of your saddle. Numbness can be the result of the nose end of the saddle up and not level. |

Extreme Veteran 1190 Silicon Valley | Subject: RE: Numbness in the groin Originally posted by GODAWGS Buy a small level and check the level of your saddle. Numbness can be the result of the nose end of the saddle up and not level. I just checked this and the nose is definitely up. I have made that adjustment and will see how it goes. I will also check out some of the saddles suggested here. Thanks to everyone for the feedback. |

| 127 , Louisiana | Subject: RE: Numbness in the groin These saddles are pricey. Cant afford to try them out till I find one the works. I have had this numbness too. Would the Adamo be the best place to start, and most likely fix the problem? |
