    There's a reason Bontrager have the nick-name "Bone-breaker." Check out the "Favorite" and "most hated" saddle forums for more saddle help.

    That's a good one, Knotted. I heard it as "Bone-traitor." Same idea.

    I thought it was the "Bonty of Death". First thing that will be coming off my new Trek Fuel.

    Check out the saddle threads.

    The first thing that came off my new bike was my Bontrager saddle. Ick!

    Also, if you do not have cycling shorts witha chamois, get some.

    I used to think shorts were no big thing, I was very wrong! I also have seat with a cut out and I love it. Mine is a terry butterfly. Actually bikemomma gave it to me last year and it has been awsome! But seats are such a wierd thing. Maybe if you find one you would like to try maybe someone on this site will have one they don't want anymore. What works for some does not work for other's. Also my bike shop will let you buy and return a seat within a week if you don't like it as long as it is still in perfect condition.,
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    Here's an actual "Bone-shaker":

    Looks comfy, huh?
    I don't think ANY chamois would help in this case.
