Lets talk about saddles

Thanks for the link! I will take a look. My lbs let me try a Selle Italia Diva (I think) and it is ok, but not my favorite I am defiantly sore from yesterdays ride. I did just adjust it before I hit the roads today, i tilted the nose down a little, so maybe that will help?? I have a Specialized hybrid bike, and I really like the seat on that, but I am wondering if it would feel different on my road bike? Ah!! I just don't know!?! I will start by reading your link for sure!

Try putting it on your Road bike. If you really really like it, then I don't see why not. I've heard people buy the cheapest saddle ($15 saddle), and they LOVE it. Others shell out hundreds and they love it too.

After trying on so many different saddles (Including Selle Italia Diva - it turns out that it was just a little too hard for me after very long rides), I found my dream saddle - Selle Italia Ldy Gel Flow. It's just so comfortable for me, and even with a little shifting here and there for long rides, I'm not SORE at the end of 95-100 miles. My muscles are a little more sore than my butt. Proves that I got the perfect sadde for ME. :-)

Even tiny adjustments (tilting nose downwards or upward, or more fore/aft) makes all the difference.

I think I might try that one, I know everyone is different, but I am sick of it hurting and being numb. I did just get a bike fit and the guy who did it said that everything was fitting perfectly, I just needed to find "the one". My Hubby just got a Brooks and said about the same thing you did, that he can't feel any preasure points and he dosn't get sore. I was also thinking of trying a Terry.
