Yet another Saddle Thread :P

[Kathi]

I thought the Ruby was T shaped. I also had issues when I first got mine. My fitter told me to give it a chance, you'll love it. He also told me not try long rides on it.

I did have to change shorts, the best are my Assos but I had some 08 Shebeest century shorts which work well. My Shebeest SSS shorts do not work because they have a liner on the sides rather than padding.

I found out last week that too much air in my tires will kill me on my saddle. I usually put in a 100 psi but my LBS pumped my tires much higher. My whole body ached that day.

Who put the saddle on you or the shop? I bought the mtn bike version and a shop put it on my mtn bike but did not check me out on it. I was not happy with the saddle. I ended up taking the bike to my fitter who aligned the saddle properly and also raised my handlebars. Big difference.

Last week I bought a new pair of shoes that were 1 size smaller. We did not adjust the saddle to compensate, my first ride I was really uncomfortable, we raised the saddle about the width of a nickel and it was perfect again.

I'm small too, not sure what my measurement is but my saddle is 130.
