Your measurements?

[Psiouxan]

measure from center to center of the indents...

A neat trick to puzzle out the "center" of your sit bone divets on your buttOmeter surface... roll a ball bearing (...or marble, etc.) into the hollow and they will find the center. I used my memory foam pillow (sans pillow "slip" so the ball wasn't sitting on a trampoline), and I got the same readings within 1mm 3 times! Now if only I could translate that to my Secret Saddle.

But being a true dirt fiend, I'm still uncertain how the plethora of road saddles are applicable to trail use. Or not. For all the trouble saddle makers go to for different features, they don't bother to let you know what they are for... ("we specialize in ALL makes and models...")

My old Serfas Arroyo was comfy on the longest rides until the last year when I got out of shape due to less training. I wonder how much one's sit bones can change over the years?

Wow...what a great idea! I never thought of doing that. I have a memory foam pillow, but it's one of those "contour" pillows that supports the neck...I wonder if I flipped it over to the "flat" side of it, if I could get an accurate measurement. I think I'll give it a try just for kicks.
