I 2nd the suggestion for a professional fit. I had my 1st professional fit last winter but it didn't overcome my saddle problems. I tested 11 saddles this season with most of the saddles putting extreme, painful, pressure on my sit bones. I mentioned the problem to a guy with a reputation as one of the best fitters in the state. He suggested another fit, (by himself of course
). Lo and behold, he resolved the saddle problem within 2 hours. The resolution was a slightly longer handle bar stem that stretched me out more and resulted in better weight distribution along the length of my saddle. Now I'm back to riding the 2nd, and least expensive saddle that I tried - a Bontrager Affinity R that I picked up for a song at an LBS. I can't say enough about the value of a HIGHLY QUALIFIED fitter.
