Wide saddles besides Brooks?

[Biciclista]

you might go try that concrete saddle again.

Hmmm. I've been reading that they take a while to wear in and then they get comfortable, would be nice to be able to try one already pre-worn I'm not doing 50-milers yet, at about 5 miles I start getting a lot of pain so I haven't made it past 8-10 miles. If that is my only real option maybe I am going to have to find a way to love it. It's crazy to me that there would only be 1 seat available for those of us with wider sit bones.

If all you did was play with it in a store, I strongly suggest you order it from www.wallbike.com (6 month free trial period) and actually ride it.

Give it a month or 3 and see how you like it then.

(B67 is my favorite. The springs should feel like concrete, they really don't move except for BIG bumps)

They are available pre-aged, but they lose some of their 30-40 year life expectancy then.

Pre-worn would be broken in by someone else's butt and would still be uncomfortable until you had made your own imprint on it.

Honestly, mine have all been immediately comfortable. Yes, after a few hundred miles they got a bit softer and had dents for my sit bones, very nice; but they were great from the very begining.

There are about 7 models of Brooks saddle that fit wide sit bones.
