Hi everyone!
I've been searching and searching for a decent saddle and I feel OK about the Specialized Ariel 155... only problem.... it rubs holes in my cycling and tri shorts! Only on the right leg, on my hamstring--a little towards the inside, a few inches below my butt. I don't think its a seam issue because it's happened with all the saddles I've tried... I use chamois cream and don't have chafing issues otherwise... what could this be?! I've taken it in to the LBS, which suggested maybe a narrower saddle, like the blackwell. Im concerned about this because my sit bones is about 135+, and I prefer a big center cutout.
Any suggestions?? Ive already gone through 2 pairs of shorts in less than 500 miles. Sucks!!
