The hunt for the perfect saddle
Just have to share, was so pleased when a husband and wife dropped in the other day. they had read my article (where I did the basic synopsis of TE suggestions on measuring for a saddle) They used the flour technique to measure their sit bones. They made marks on the ziplock bag using a permanent marker and brought the bags with them (sans flour) How great was that. He went home with a Brooks B17, she went home with a Rivet Pearl.
My fingers are crossed for her with the Pearl as her measurements were a tad wide for it but after riding six, yes six, different saddles she loved the cut out and it just felt right. We do have a six month return policy though.
Any how... For me, being able to ride my Rivet Pearl day in day out and not really think about it has been great. Sure my butt gets tired after 30 plus miles but it doesn't have pain.
