saddle hunting: have I got this about right?

[KnottedYet]

T or Pear depends a lot on your Q-angle of your femurs and whether or not you have anteroverted hips.

Shape of the topside also depends on how your hip joint moves through the pedal cycle, what muscles are tight or loose, etc.

Someone with wider sits is more likely to have a wider pelvis over all and a greater Q-angle, and so might prefer a T.

But there's a gazillion variables.

Try something, make note of the top shape, make note of the chafing pattern (if you chafe) and change to the appropriate more T or more Pear depending.

I didn't invent that self-test out of thin air (darn!), and I've been doing so much saddle research for the clinic that I just don't remember where I found that one. Pretty spiffy, though. I like that kind of test. Privacy of your own home and all that...
