Chaffing?

[OakLeaf]

Either your saddle is too narrow, too padded, or too tilted up at the nose. Or your posture is too sagged so you are going into an anterior pelvic tilt. Or the saddle just s*cks.

Or it's too wedge-shaped and forcing you onto the nose, which can't support your sitbones even though the width of the back part should be wide enough for you. Or the cut-out is the wrong size or shape for your anatomy, or you don't need one (but my guess would be that you do) ...

+1 that since you know something is REALLY WRONG there's no reason for you to wait to contact your fitter. For one thing, until you can sit comfortably on your saddle, you won't be able to figure out your relationship with the bars, pedals and levers.

One last question, is it okay to put butt'r on the soft tissue? Or do you think there is a possibility of it causing an infection? I'm not talking in the canal mind you.
