hi girls
i'm new to this forum, and i've read some previous discussions on SMP saddles...

but, reason why i'm posting this is to understand how you sit on your SMP...

because: i have a Glider too, and have ridden about 800 km on it.
Yesterday i got a proper fitting and posture test... and the guy noticed that my sitbones are not on the saddle (sitting on the flat part) but just on the outside...
In his opinion this explains the the pressure/slight pain on the boney front part (the ischiatic bones) and discomfort when riding long distances because this area become the only place where the weight of the body gets concentrated to, and this ultimetly causes an improper posture on the bike and pedal stroke.

before yesterday i thought it was only a matter of getting used to to the Glider's discomfort, but yesterday it all changed for me, and now i'm trying to figure out if i really need to change the saddle with one just a bit wider in the back so that my sitbones would relieve pressure/weight from the central part/ischiatic bones, or continue the old way.

i see many girls using the glider, and everyone says that is a 'different' way of sitting on it... i wouldn't know better because i've always used smps (before i used to have a extra strike in plastic), and have ridden almost 2000 km on them.
so now at this point i'm confused.

if this matters, i'm a size 42 european, 1.73 tall, slim... but have never measured the distance of the iliac/sit bones when sitting.

maybe is not the saddle for me, maybe i just need to upgrade it to a wider model... but i just wanted to hear from you girls how you sit on it.

the guy's suggestion was to go for a wider and flat saddle in the back with a regular/narrower point.
According to him good substitutions would be: Selle Italia SLR gelflow, or Fizik Antares.

mmmm, i got so attached a that wide opening that the SMPs offer...so great and no one really has matched that.

anyway, would love to hear back for you SMP enthusiastic women!
thank you
