Saddle Sore Help!

[Norse]

Yes. I usually wear PI's and they have never been a source of this problem with other saddles so I tend to believe it's the saddle.

I was experiencing the same as you. Same shorts even. I researched what the "long distance" riders where using (cuz someday I wanna be a long distance rider) and this one kept popping up. I found my perfect saddle. The Selle An-atomica.http://www.selleanatomica.com/

I also found that wearing bibs with a thinner chamois is the way to go for me. I had 4 pairs of PI's and have been getting rid of them slowly. The cool thing about this saddle is its adjustability. My hubby rides on one also and has his set much different from mine. We like them. Good luck.

Thanks for the link! That's what I want to be, too, a long-distance rider.

++1 for Selle An Atomicas! I have them on both my bikes now (one red, one gloden brown). I had the same issue as you with a Terry saddle. I think it was too wide in the nose, which caused a blood blister after long rides.

I'm also finding a thinner chamois is best with them, but nothing I wear doesn't work. My worst problem is with sliding around if the fabric is too slippery/shiny. Today I rode to the beach in street shorts over my bathing suit, and it was still good! These saddles are so well designed, and they look great.

The Liberator is very pear-shaped. It could be you need a more T-shaped saddle. I'm happy with my T-shaped Specialized Lithia, which comes in three different widths; the 143 should be comparable in width to the Liberator.
