I rode a 350 miles ride (plus hundreds of training miles) on a saddle with the philosophy that my behind would adjust to it and came to see a nominal amount of pain all the time as normal. That bike was stolen and my new saddle is more narrow. I hadn't ridden for over a year and have no pain whatsoever. Now I'm convinced that all ischial tuberosities are NOT created equal. Even though I have wide hips a narrow saddle works for me. Good luck in the search
