I Hurt Here . . More Saddle Questions

The bottom of zone 3 is where your weight should be.
if you're feeling pain over in 4c maybe it's too far fore/aft.
You got the bike at Proteus, yes? Surely they fit you correctly.
Go back and talk to Jill.

Yes, I got the bike at Proteus. Everything else aside I definitely think they fit me correctly. I haven't yet told them about my saddle issues. I may have to do that.

I still haven't found the reason for this.

cindy, I agree. I think it mostly hits me in my 4C region. Maybe together we can figure out what's going on.

Yes, I feel like it's BETWEEN my sit bones mostly, Bleecker, and less so at the bottom of Zone 3.

cindy, read my post above about the slope of a saddle from side to side. Your weight could be on 4c because of slope to the saddle.

My magic 8 ball says "needs different saddle"

Wow, so does mine! What are the odds?

**F8th637** · 04-01-2008, 04:43 PM

Do your Magic 8 balls say that my seat is too narrow?

**SadieKate** · 04-01-2008, 04:46 PM

Hallooooo?????? Did you read post #7 about width and slope?

Oh sorry! Blonde moment! I thought you guys knew something I didn't.

This is the saddle: http://www.performancebike.com/shop/...slisearch=true

And it looks like it is NOT flat and is 130 mm or 5.1" wide.
