I am having trouble finding a T-shaped saddle for my 130mm sit bones. The SI Turbomatica was T-shaped enough though too narrow for me. The SSM Aspide Glamour Arrowhead on the first ride was T-shaped enough though I had quite a bit of pressure up front. On the second ride I brought the nose down a bit and up front felt better though on the right side where my butt and leg meet, that crease, the edge of the saddle has rubbed quite a bit. The second ride was longer though I could tell there was a problem 15 miles into the ride. I am puzzled that bringing the nose down just a few degrees would cause such a difference with the comfort at the back of my leg. I am considering either bringing the nose up a bit or moving the saddle back just a bit. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hmmm...that is weird. I would definitely keep playing with position, some. Also, is it possible your leg is hitting the seat-post clamp? Mine does on my cyclocross bike with this saddle (all saddles, really, but especially this one).

I am having great success with the arrowhead K and actually had the nose a little up past level. It is working out well, take a tool with you and play.

Sarah: If you're in the Twin Cities area I suggest that you might want to try getting a basic bike fit at Erik's. It is well worth the price. As far as T-shaped saddles, I have had success with the Specialized Jett previously and now the Ruby. Good luck!
