Weird problem with SI SLK Lady Gel Flow saddle

[Zen]

There's nothing wrong with the saddle. It's accommodating your body. You made it do that.

If you had saddle that didn't accommodate you, you'd probably be walking like me (you don't wanna know)

Mebbe I need to get me wunna those.

Lol. Obviously zen's right & your *** is lopsided and bent the rails.

but in the oft chance that your *** is symmetrical and so is your leg length, they really should replace that saddle for how much they charge for it. Generally companies are good at that.

It's rare for someone to have both legs the same length but another thing the saddle might be accommodating is pedal stroke, i.e. a more powerful stroke on one side. Kind of a "pimp walk" pedal stroke

Hmmm...I do see your point about the saddle accommodating me. However, halfway into my rides, I start to feel the "ridge" where the left side dips lower...and it's definitely NOT a good feeling. Interestingly enough, when we took the saddle off the bike...it no longer looked uneven. Very strange! Almost as if it being clamped into the seatpost clamp, is somehow causing the unevenness. Now I'm not sure what to do about it. If I send it back, they will likely take one look at it, and tell me that the saddle looks even and there is nothing wrong with it. Yet, the second I put it back on the bike and secure it to the seat clamp...it'll become uneven again. I wouldn't care, if it weren't for the fact that the lopsided-ness is causing me discomfort.

From reading your posts, I'm assuming that you did NOT have the problem on your old bike?? Assuming that the saddle was installed correctly.. ie that both rails of the saddle were clamped, I would think that you might want to check the seatpost and see if there is an issue there.
