Competive Cyclist Saddle Demo Program

The Trisports program looks like a better deal, if they offer a saddle you're interested in trying. The other one just says they send their best selling saddles, with no list of what that includes, so you could wind up with nothing that's wide enough for your sit bones.

I have done a trisports trial and they were great. I think the problem as already explained with competitive cyclist is they will send you a lot of narrow saddles. Perhaps you could call them and see if they have a women's specific trial I had heard of someone doing that.

Looks like Competitive Cyclist has the added not-benefit of giving you all of 7 days to try 13 saddles. 2 per day? A person would have to take a week of vacation to ride around the clock, and wouldn't have healed from the bad ones before trying the next one. You'd have to carefully select the most likely of the bunch, I guess. I've tried a bunch of saddles, and unless it's really really bad, 30 days is just barely enough for me.

Sorry if I sound pretty negative - it's probably the headache.

I emailed them for more info, so will pass this along once I hear back. I agree, 7 days is insane. I still have a saddle sore healing from a saddle I demoed three weeks ago.
