    Yes, I've read some of the threads but I it's difficult to filter the information properly because everyone says different things

    How do you take your sit bone measurement?

    I don't care about the way it looks and I think I'd like a cut out. Other than that, I'm not sure because I've only been riding on my stock saddle I have a pretty small posterior too so maybe a T-shape?

    Thanks!

    Sit Bone Measurement

    If you do a search on Sit Bone Measurement, you'll get quite a number of threads. Here is one that has several ways that TE women have done it. I find it easiest to go to a Specialized dealer and use their little sit-pad.

    oh but it's much more fun to roll onto my back with my legs up and arms wrapped around to my butt while handling measuring tape and squishing my tush to find my sitbones while negotiating the measuring tape to their outer edges and all the while attempting to crane my head to see if i'm doing it right and fortunately being oblivious to the wildly entertaining antics i'm providing to anyone in the room with me. (run on sentences are fun too)

    You must search to find saddle greatness, but you will find it!

    Luv,
