I'm on the saddle search. I have tried several, and read much here. I "think" I know what this pain means, but am not totally sure...

The saddle I'm trying now, I get a rubbing/chaffing/pressure/bumping type pain where my glute crease connects to the top of my hamstring. This could mean: 1) I need a T shaped saddle versus pear-ish ??? ; 2) saddle too wide???

My sitz bones are 130/140mm dead center in the impression dent test. This saddle is a Selle Italia Diva Gel Lady. Beautiful saddle. Nice cut out. 160mm width (but less actual sitting width w/slight left to right curvature). I like the saddle otherwise except for what's described above.

I tried a couple Brooks with the last order, B17 and B17S. The width was good, but I think I need a cut out. I tried Knott's lean forward test before I ordered on my wooden chair, and that was ok. Well, actually sitting on the Brooks was another. I tried repositioning the saddles several ways, but I concluded if a Brooks is to work for me, I will need to wait and try the Imperial with a cut out when released for sale. The B17 skirt hit the backs of my thighs on the pedal downstroke.

I've also tried some Terry saddles, and Specialized. Those seemed a bit narrow 155mm... I don't think I had true sitz bones pressure.

I'm going to try it longer this w/e on an away trip. Any thoughts? I'll check in when we return. TYIA for any help!
