adamo road saddle questions

It sounds like the adamo has merely shifted the numbness from one place to the other. A numb leg is not good. When I got a new saddle (the adamo, time trial) I set up an apt. with my fitter and we put a couple of saddles on. I liked the Adamo the best (well except for the price tag ).

Keep in mind that just because people rave about the Adamo doesn;t mean that it is the one stop cure for everyone. I can definitely say that if you have bigger thighs there is a strong chance that the split nose would put pressure there.

Choosing the right saddle can often be a costly venture. Maybe go talk to a fitter at a bike store and see what he/she has to say. The Adamo needs to be positioned correctly for it to function properly also.

When I first received mine it took away the numbness I had and that was a plus. My sit bones on the other had hurt for the first few weeks. Now I am used to it and have had no issues.

I never experienced the leg numbness.

For me it took a bit of time in the saddle for my sit bones to HTFU.  

As to the insides of my legs, I had to position the nose slightly off center.  Now that I've moved the saddle to my Trek SC I can't position the nose off center, so I had to zip-tie the nose to make it not quite as wide.  

Hope this helps. I really love this saddle. 

thanks for all of the replies.  I think I should clarify a couple of things.  First, I may have lead to an exagerated perception of what is going on.  My entire right leg is not going numb.  I do have soreness in the very upper and inner thighs but I expected this with a new position.  The problem I am trying to describe is what feels like a tightness and tingling in the upper right thigh.  If you do a butterfly stretch while sitting on the ground to stretch the groin, the area on the right side where you feel the stretch most is where the tingling is.  I have only ridden 1 long ride on the saddle (50 miles on Saturday) and I did an easy trainer ride this morning.  Also, I am actually not 100% sure the tightness is coming from the saddle.  I did a 9 mile run last Sunday outside and I could have strained it on the run and not realized it until later that evening when the muscles cooled down.  I was just attributing the tightness to the saddle because it was the most obvious change. 

I may also need to play with the seat fit a little more.  The pain and numbness from the original seat is gone so that is a HUGE bonus.  This pain is much less of a problem than the original issue.  When I sit up on the bike I can literally feel my sit bones holding all of my weight on the seat.  With that said, when I go down into aero position the weight shifts forward and is not squarly on my sit bones as in the upright position.  My sit bones rotate back and up when I go foward into aero like I assumed they should.  Perhaps this is where I am missing it.  Is your weight still squarely on your sit bones when you go into aero or does the pressure shift a bit forward like I am describing? 

Have you tried looking at the Adamo site. Just got the Adamo Racing Saddle  and found the information very helpful.

Here's the link.

I'll let someone who knows more than I do comment, but I was under he impression that if you're seat height etc is dialled in appropriately, your pelvis shouldn't be rocking back and forth (hence, sit bones shifting back and forth).  I suppose you'd have to make a judgement call on that one because I don't know the extent to it based on your description.  In aero my sit bones take some / most of the weight, but definitely less so than when I'm out of aero.  I haven't actually thought much about what I'm resting on in aero except knowing that I'm not riding on my 'important' nerves any more.  I'll admit that when I'm up to speed as well, a lot of the weight is actually taken up through my legs, and this is more obvious when I slow down to a light light spin and I feel a lot more pressure on my saddle.

Again, it doesn't sound like this is an acute problem, so as long as it isn't getting worse, I'd see if it goes away with time.
