Sitbones measured

[sarahspins]

The manager mentioned that the Terry Butterfly saddle I have may be too stiff.

This is unlikely.. honestly.. I think a majority of your problems come from the saddle not being wide enough for you. It's only 155mm across at the widest point, but when you consider the outside slope of the saddle, it's probably not enough.. when I tried a similar saddle (SI Lady Gelflow) I could literally feel my sit bones hanging OVER the edges of the saddle... it was not good.

I ride an unsprung brooks and it's not "too stiff" at all.. if your sit bones are properly supported you don't need padding.. squishy can actually contribute to soreness on longer rides too.

Thanks everyone for the help. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, KnottedYet. It's hard to find a saddle that is over 7" wide. I checked Koobi, Selle, Specialized, Bontragger, Brooks, Terry, WTB, Serfas, Avocet, and Fizik. Brooks, Bontragger and Serfas are the only ones that had saddles over 7". Some companies carry the indoor exercise bike saddle, but I didn't consider those.

The Bontragger and Serfas look a little too soft. So after much consideration, I think the B68 is the way to go. I am leaning towards the unsprung. Also, I need to figure out if I want the cutout or not.

Appreciate any other thoughts and comments.
