Saddle problems...

[Mia]

Thank-you so much for your help...I appreciate it very much. I'm looking at new saddles now, and I already am trying something a little wider than my old one. Maybe one of the Terry's since they have a 30 day return policy.
By the backs of my legs, I meant the area where your leg ends and butt begins. I was sitting too far back and the seat was putting pressure there when I pedaled. I had a hysterectomy about 18 months ago and am still having some problems from that...Scar tissure maybe? Anyway I am pretty irritated inside now from all this wrong positioning. I think I will give my body a rest for a week or so and then try again. Thanks again for your help.

Oh dear!!!

I agree with Irulan... that advice about weight on your pubic bone is just wrong.

Remember women and men are different physiologically, and men tend to have the nose of a seat a little higher then women do...

Do you have a woman at your LBS (or a man with a female cycling partner) you could talk to and who could help fit you to your bike and your saddle?

Good luck...
