Ladies, I've been looking at the Selle Strike TRK saddle and have read the reviews on this forum, but the info seems to be from several years ago. Has anyone else used this saddle? How about the rest of you who posted a few years ago? Thoughts?

It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

I tried one last year. The problem was that the large opening made it so that the saddle put a lot of pressure on the area (hard to know what to call it) where the inside of my legs meet my body. It was like sitting on knife edges. I had to return it.

Pros: Relieves pressure on the girlie bits
Cons: Wide cutout == wide nose, causing chafing on inner thighs and at the panty line area.
Issues: "Level" for the SMP looks significantly nose-up. Level the sit-bone area, not the saddle as a whole.
For me, the SMP Lady Strike is the best saddle I've found. It isn't perfect--chafing and a little too soft, but it is wide enough and I love the wide cutout.
