Brooks Saddles

[KnottedYet]

I always tell my folks that if we experiment and do something that seems to work, but that later in the real world causes them pain or distress - I want them to come back PDQ! If it hurts, it obviously is the wrong thing and I want to make it right.

Get ahold of your fitter and tell him about your problem. He knows from his training that with the bars even with your saddle and you up on the flats there is no way you should be on the rami, and he can help you figure out what is up.

But you have to let him know that something has gone wrong with your position! Don't be shy! Everyone who has had bike fit training knows pelvic anatomy and the dangers of improper placement, and they don't have any problem talking about pelvic pains and personal bits and other embarrassing stuff. (I get to talk about incontinence and sexual problems from pelvis/saddle interactions with nearly every other fit, it's just another day at the office...)

Trust me, he'd rather know something was wrong, and he won't be upset nor think it's criticism. Often things can look very different during a fit session than they do out in the real world. People shift around, postures change, it can be very different. It's all good data!
