Sitting too far back on Specialized saddles?

[Owlie]

Spesh saddles generally seem pretty T-shaped to me. That Romin's footprint looks a lot more like the Selle Italia I used to have, which to my butt is pear/wedge-shaped. The Jett was a vast improvement in that area.


As to how to recognize them: It's a continuum, as pears are somewhat T-shaped, aren't they? Look at the transition zone. Is there an abrupt transition between the nose and the sitbone area? Then it's on the T-shaped end. What worked for me was that I knew I wanted to cut about an inch off each side of the transition on my old saddle. Kind of like this:



Lines should probably be closer to the bottom set. Please excuse my MS Paint skills.
