my saddle search

[mimitabby]

I got measured at City Bikes, where I bought my bike (the Chevy Chase location). After sitting on the thing several times, I was on the cusp for 143-155. I find that the 155 is good because I can get my sit bones more squarely on the saddle, more weight over them, and less weight on the front. (too bad they don't carry many 155s in the store). I had assumed that the 143 was fine given my measurements since I had no sit bone pain, but perhaps not.


I've just got to find something that won't kill me in 20 miles. I'll never improve if I can't spend more time on the bike.

So why, since this woman here has absolutely average sit bones, can't we find more saddles that are 155 mm across and don't look like garbage can lids?

Have you tried Brooks saddles?
