Bought the SMP ladies a few weeks ago after I had ridden my new OCR with the saddle from LBS(selle Italia Ldy gel flow). I had never ridden a road bike (been riding a COMFORT bike for goodness sake) and the first rides with the Italia were very painful(at front soft bits). So have been trying the Selle SMP some of you discussed. So far I am having discomfort(not terrible but??) at the bones ?? jeez don't even know name for them....directly between my thighs.Not at rear... Also have noticed that the broad saddle puts pressure at outer edges! Hairs irritated...am wearing good shorts(Pearl I ultra) Did ~24 miles today and haven't had time to go further to try the saddle on a longer ride but at ~24 it is starting to become noticeable(as compared to comfort where after 40 miles I am not even aware of the saddle.) Are all road bikes & saddles noticeably uncomfortable? Do ya ever get used to them?
