help me find the right saddle, please?

I have the mens version of the Selle SMP TRK. I don't have problems really and always used the Fizik Vitesse but was having less time in the saddle and it just wasn't as comfy.

I bet other people have given you better advice and I don't know how this would work for you but it seems like this one wouldn't have much pressure on your tail bone.

Be forewarned, it's funky looking. If you ever watch Star Trek, it looks like a Bird of Prey. It works for me though, even in tri shorts.

I believe posture is very important here. Do your core exercises and make sure you stay on your sit bones (you have nerves there, right?)

Hi Teig,
It looks cool! I am not very focused on aesthetics, anyway. But as a fan of sci fi, I see its appeal.
Hi Mimi,
I am going to start yoga back up (after a couple years off) after reading another pilonidal cyst suffer's post on how that helped her. Are there other exercises?
Yes, I do have nerves there. I just have a blank spot in a radius around my tailbone.
Thank you both for your feedback! I appreciate it.

Question: Can I do anything about getting sore wrists? I noticed that after a short ride yesterday. I try to let go of the bars and rest them when I can but my balance isn't super.

Thanks again.

you sound like you need a bike fit. (Have you had a professional fit you to your bike?)
if your wrists are hurting, you probably are using them to do what your core and butt should be doing; holding you up.

I know crunches are good exercise for core

Well, I don't think what I had as a professional bike fit. The guy asked how tall I was and said I needed a size Small. My bike is a hybrid; I don't think they come in particular sizes. Can I adjust the handlebars, perhaps? Bring them up a bit?
