I had a Terry Liberator on my Diamondback hybrid. Loved it.

Did not love it on my new Specialized Dolce road bike. To much presure on the parts. Talked to the boys at the shop. Came home with a Serfas Itallia. It has a wider cutout than the liberator.

I played with height a bit, moved it front and back, tipped it down in front. It still isn't right. With the seat level,l I get pain in the front ( I seem to have an extra fold develope in the folds -like riding with wrinkle in your sock, only worse).

We rode 50 miles Saturday, and again on Sunday. Sunday I tipped the seat nose down one more notch-the parts were better (still not great) but my sit bones were screaming-They are still muttering at me this morning. It feels like they hit the seat on the outside curved part, rather than the flat part, and put pressure where nature didn't intend presure to be.

I wanted to check out my theory, so actually messured the sit bones-they are 4 inches apart. I don't know if that is wide or not, (I do know my rear is curvy, not sleek) but it does indeed look like it hits the curves of the seat instead of the flat.

When I got the bike, the guy spend a lot of time making sure it fit me, so I don't think that is the problem. I love the guys at my LBS, but they are guys, and just don't have the same issues.

I am trading the Serfas in tomorrow, but don't know what to try next. Any ideas?
