I have been unwilling to give up on the Ruby saddle I am trying out. I have tweaked the position of it until the only pain I am experiencing now is on the sit bone on just one side! The other side feels perfectly fine. There doesn't seem to be the chafing issue I was having before and no soft tissue pain.
I have also noticed that the muscles in my hamstrings are working more than in the past rather than my quads. I am consciously riding in a slightly more aggressive position since I thought that the Ruby was probably intended more for that type of riding. I am perfectly comfortable in that position, except, like I said, one sit bone.
I have ridden on it 4 times now, rides of 40, 20, 26 and 20 miles. I can give it longer if there is any hope that this is something I will get over. Maybe one of my sit bones is different than the other? Do I need to go to the more padded Jett? Thanks for any input.
