I went to a local Specialized bike shop and sat on their butt-o-meter - I came in at about 150. The bike shop guy thought this put me in between a 143 and 155 and for the type of riding I do, thought the 143 would work best. Took home a 143 Jett and tried it. Not! It only worked when I was in the drops. On the hoods, my sit bones rolled off the edge - not comfy at all. Took it back and exchanged it for the 155 Jett. Seemed to do ok on a short 1 hour spin. The next day I did a 60-mile group ride. Quite hard on the sit bones, but ... no chafing! No saddle sores and no pain to the soft tissue either. I mostly noticed the saddle's presence the first few minutes after getting back on the bike, or when I would scoot my butt back, otherwise, it really was not noticeable. I think I will still try the Glamour Aspide and/or Selle An-Atomica just to see if one of those provides total comfort, but the Jett may be the one for me.
