I bought a WTB She today. After 5 miles, it kinda hurt. the jury is still out on that one.

That was Hilarious!! Ok...the whole thing with your saddle isn't - but I had this mental image of your neighbors (think Mrs. Crabtree from Bewitched) peeking thru their blinds wondering what in Gods name you were doing!!

Likewise with the measuring tape stretched behind you, trying to find each bone and mark the place. I did this the other day and my daughter walked in - MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING???? I thought I'd die laughing!!

If so, see if they have one of their spiffy little sit bone measuring tools. My LBS has one. Sit on this little squishy pad and measure. You get clear indentations and no strange looks from the neighbors!

More affectionately known as the A$$-O-Meter!

Hey, if the, uh, shoe fits...

By the way, the silly little thing works!

LMAO now you know I am gonna go to my lbs and ask for the A#@ o meter!!! That is a must! My new saddle jsut barely accomodates my sitz bones.

Is it a crime to use the same saddle on my MTN as on my Road bike? I love my road bike saddle.

Has anyone used The Seat? (http://www.thecomfortseat.com/)

I talked to a couple at Pike Street market last weekend, they had it on the back of a tandem, and they both raved about it, saying they took newbies out on long rides with no discomfort.

I want to know how it works on a road bike, instead of an upright position.
