Yet another Saddle Thread :P

[KnottedYet]

Woops... I meant underwear line. Not shy!

To be more specific it's the "inferior pubic ramus." There's a diagram here...

Umm... I think you're looking at that picture backwards? Are you talking about pain at your butt underwear line, or at your hoo-hah?

If it's chafing at your butt panty-line, the saddle transition from "sit" to nose is probably too gradual.

If it's pressure at your butt on the sit-bones, that's where you want it. (does it feel like you would after sitting on those metal benches at the football stadium?) Keep the saddle a while and see how it goes.

If it really is pain on the pubic rami, up front by your hoo-hah, then the saddle is either too narrow at your sit bones (but you measured, and it sounds ok) or the nose may be tilted up too high, or again it may be too pear shaped and you are shifting forward to clear your hips as you ride, thereby sitting on the narrower front portion of the saddle and weightbearing on the pubic rami instead of the ischial tuberosities.
