Jett 130 and Zero and sit bone LUMP

[SadieKate]

From Andy Pruitt: Pain and swelling directly on the sitbones are indicative of ischial bursitis (an inflamation of a bursal sac located in the gluteal region).

I'll keep reading . . . back in a bit.

More: And ischial bursitis can be caused by a hard saddle, a poor quality chamois, or riding too many miles too soon.

For ischial bursitis, apply ice, take NSAIDs, and rest off the ike. Cortisone may provide quick relief. Too keep it from recurring, wear 2 pairs of shorts for more padding. Youmay want to cut a roudn hole in the liner of the inner pair to reduce pressue on the area.

Choosing a new saddle with different shape and different amounts of padding may also solve the problem.
