That's funny....I used to ride a Brooks B17 which was 170mm in back. I eventually had to sell it because my sitbones were riding right on the outer frame from side to side.Originally Posted by TxDoc
Ahhh... only reading the number 140 on the computer already hurts
I cannot even test-ride anything wider than 130!!!
Then I got the Brooks B68 which is their widest saddle at 210mm wide. Pure heaven!!! Got another for my second bike and they are SO comfy for me, thousands of miles so far and my sitbones are so happy. It really is the only saddle I know of wide enough.
Oddly, to look at me you would not think I was 'that' wide, but I got my mother's pelvis.
