Selle SMP Strike TRK Lady Saddle

[emily_in_nc]

I have 130mm sit bones - very average. The most comfortable saddle for me is the wider lady version - even though the men's version more closely fits my sit bone size.

Me too -- 130mm sit bones, do much better on a 155mm saddle than a 140ish, which gave me a chronic saddle sore I couldn't get rid of for a year til I put on a wider saddle. Just another data point....

So I finally got my hands on the TRK- I ordered the 160 mens version, but the one that came measures 177, so must be the lady's tho it doesn't say lady on it. Regardless, I'm glad of the mistake- apparently I wasn't imagining that I was just on the edge of my 160 crap saddle. I slapped it on my bike once I got off the main drag the LBS is on and upon first sit, it was a totally different bike! My bones are supported beautifully, there's no way I could cause soft tissue issues, and I think the support even is helping my arm soreness too. I adore this thing. Only small issue is I need slightly wider chamois to actually cover the width of the saddle.

I've switched over to Boure ( http://www.boure.com/1650.html ). It isn't a super thick chamois, but works well. If you're not tall, the inseams do run longer than many shorts (a plus for me). You need to order direct from Boure, but they rival TE for speed and efficiency.

Thanks Thorn. DH has some bibs from performance that have a similar chamois to that one that I was going to try (we're essentially the same size). Going to attempt to stop off and try on more brands one night this week.
