I'm trying the Jett 130. Today was my first ride. I think it's going to be good, but I have a really strange problem that I fear no saddle will solve.

I loved my Terry Zero Y until this year, when somehow it gave me a really bad "issue" in my left sit bone, starting after my 400k. It's almost like there's a big lump right on the bone. I can feel it with my hand. Starting this year, I had felt that the Zero might be a bit wide and it was almost like it was cutting off circulation down my left leg. Mind you I did a 600k and what, 6 double centuries on that saddle over the last couple of years and never had a problem til this year. (Maybe my pelvis readjusted itself in the 6 months I was off the bike last year?)

So on a MTB trip in Oregon I bought a Specialized Alias 130 out of desperation (new bike and the stock saddle didn't have a cutout which I now know is essential for me). I loved it! The Alias is a great saddle. And when I saw they made the women's (Jett) in a 130 I decided to give it a try. I notice the Alias/Jett don't "flare out" at the side the way the Zero does. Even the Zero is a fairly narrow saddle, it is effectively wider because of the flare at the end/sides.

But has anyone had a LUMP on your sit bones?? Is it possible to get a bone spur on your butt??? Could it be some sort of inflammation where the hamstring attaches to the bone there?



I will go to my doctor (who already thinks I am a freak), but before I did, I wanted to throw those questions out there.
