Do I have a saddle problem? Recommendations?

[dianne_1234]

One thing I'm pondering is how you decide how much padding you want. I think the different versions of all these saddles (RXL vs RL vs R) vary largely in the amount of padding, and I don't think I've ever read anything about how to decide when you have too much or when you don't have enough.

I think you're right ny biker - amount of padding seems a main variable.

For me, the less padding the better (helps maintain clearance under my pubic bone!), until my sit bones hurt. Then I want more padding!
