Pinchy Bits

boy, be careful with Bontragers. Of all the brands - i have heard more complaints about them than any others. I have a cutout in my Brooks Imperial and it's great.

Ha, yeah...seems like there is no middle-ground with them, from what I have been reading.

Aero position is tough because you can't help rotating your pelvis forward. But the other part of that is that in aero position, you may be okay with a more wedge-shaped saddle than what you can tolerate sitting a little bit more upright, with your weight on your sitbones. Have you thought about an Adamo?

I wondered if the issue was more that of being less upright. That makes sense. I'm sure the overabundance of fabric "down there" is not helping matters, either.

I don't know that I want to buy a saddle just for the occasional race...at least not this year (I'm only planning on 3 sprint duathlons...otherwise the rest of my year will mostly be centuries and other long rides). I'll probably be ready to replace my saddle by the end of this riding season, so that may be the time to reassess. I'd love to find something that would work equally well on the hoods and in the drops, but I'm guessing there is no such thing, huh.

The over abundance of fabric is always an issue for me. I actually gave up trying to find chamois that didn't rub me the wrong way. I now only use tri shorts and haven't had a problem since.
