Informative view of saddle/Pelvic fitting - not sit bone width

[Scrappy]

Hello Ladies,

I ran across this article tonight which really seems to address a specific issue... sit bone width did does not necessarily translate into 'ehem' forward pelvic comfort - especially with the female anatomy. Worth a read if you are struggling with pressure points "down there." In my situation, I finally had a chance to ride on one of those gel seat covers that most bike snobs sneer at (borrowing a bike while out of town) and surprisingly, it was incredibly comfortable despite the box-store saddle that it was covering.

Please take note that this is not an endorsement for SMP saddles. It is simply a new piece of info I ran across on an age old issue. Hope someone finds this use-full.

At least for me your link took me to a "sorry we couldn't find the page you're looking for" Maybe the title of the article and under what section of the homepage might help those who also get that?

I beg anyone who has tried more than a couple of saddles and not found THE saddle to try an SMP. I tried AT LEAST a DOZEN before sucking it up and spending the money...I'm never looking back. I love the SMPs I have on my road and tandem. I don't have one on my CX bike, since the shape isn't real conducive to remounts (which I don't do properly, but need to start) or mtn bike...mtn. bike has me upright and out of the saddle enough that it's not an issue.

I'm a huge fan of SMP. The Glider and Lite 209 models are the first saddles I've had in years that I can ride for more than 90 minutes on without pain and chafing.
