    Becca, give yourself a couple more weeks. If you're still miserable, get a new saddle!

    I had a Jett that came on my Ruby. It lasted two rides. I got rid of it quick, it really HURT. Put on my old Terry Butterfly TI, that seemed ok on my MTB, but found it to be too squishy, not enough support for me. So I bought a San Marco Aspide Glamore saddle. Very nice. A little too flexy but it did not hurt. So I rode that till I crash-damaged it about four months ago. At the LBS, I saw the Bontrager Inform saddles, and fell in love with the looks of the white RXL. I'm wide boned, so thought I would not be able to fit one, so I was bummed. But the employee showed me one in size 154 and advised that it has a 90 day unconditional return from Bontrager. It took about 8 rides, but it now is the most comfortable saddle I have ever had (and yes, I've had two Brooks in the past). I feel nothing- like I am floating. It's weird but I feel no pressure or anything. Had to mention it, as it looks like I am the only TE'er riding one. Going to put another on my MTB as soon as I can scrape up the cash. I have a WTB Diva TI there now, and it used to feel ok, but now hurts (I lost over 30 lbs so I guess I lost my 'padding'.) But the RXL still feels perfect.
