    More info

    I should clarify, the store manager didn't recommend different tires. He said the tires are good tires. He thought the combination of the Terry Butterfly and Continental 32s was the problem. He recommends keeping the tires, but switching to the Liberator.

    I put two dimes on the Terry Liberator where my sitbones would be. The dimes fell off. My sitbones are near the edge.

    The Liberator is wider, but not much. I am going to bypass that saddle too.

    I should add the shop was helpful. The sales rep told me I needed to raise my saddle and that the saddle nose was pointing downwards.

    Looking to make a decision soon. Thanks for the help.

    32 mm tires are very forgiving, and it is extraordinary that they'd be blamed for any part of any saddle pain.

    I am truly gobsmacked by this dude's proclamations.
