ok -

first off, i have measured my sitbone width and they are approximately 5" apart. i purchased a terry butterfly and have ridden on it for about a month and a half. i usually have some discomfort on the left side and it's in the area between my thigh and butt, if you know what i mean. there is no pain or discomfort on the right side, ever. only the left side.

after riding yesterday, i have a sore (not open) at that same area. i rode some this morning and had to sit or move to the left so that area wasn't touching the seat. i used chamois butt'r and applied liberally saturday. i intended to ride 100mi, but only made it to 87mi due to calf cramps and really sore butt. i just couldn't ride any longer.

i wonder if i should try another saddle? does anyone know whether Performance will exchange after this long? i still have the receipt.

anyway, if anyone can offer any advice i would really appreciate it.

thanks, karen.
