New Saddle Break-In Time?

[Etincelle]

Hi,

I have a new bike with a new saddle and I have feel some pain... even after more than 150km... The position on my new bike is different (the handlebars being a lot lower)... I have a feeling that I am sitting (and putting more weight) on my soft tissue.. than my sit bones...

Any suggestions for adjustment?

Thanks!

I suggest what I suggested in the post before yours, Etincelle, and stress it particularly more so if your handlebars are low-ish

After dropping mine a month or so ago, it was a given that I had to drop the nose of my saddle a fraction too (not much but a little makes a huge difference)

Good luck with it

Thanks. I will try this tomorrow morning and keep you posted. I know that when I got my new bike and I had the fit done, the guy said that he was adjusting the saddle 2mm leaning behind for women. Maybe this is the source of my problem.

Looking forward to ride with this adjustment!

Just move it a fraction - perhaps 2mm, and try it out

The danger is you lower the nose too much, or too much too soon, and you feel like you will slide down and off the front!

Just softly softly and see if helps

Trust it works for you... everyone is so individual it can take alot of fiddling about to make your own bike fit you well...
