My Terry doesn't have a lot of padding. You're absolutely correct - too much padding IS more uncomfortable than a firmer saddle.
Sounds like some different shorts are in order. What brand are you using now?

If you seem to be getting close with the Lithia, what about going to the LBS ans checking out some of Specialized's other saddles with less padding but a similar shape. I'm personally intrigued by the Romin but just from pictures.

I plan on going back to the LBS to check out some saddles when I get the chance. Shorts are Pearl Izumi but a men's size that I bought in 2011..that's what the tag says and wondering if I've just worn them out. They've worked fine until this saddle. I have two pairs of men's mtb shorts with totally different padding that I like more.
The article nailed the leg pain exactly! So what within the Specialized line comes in as a "t-shape" to possibly try out?Last edited by Bethany1; 01-31-2014 at 07:02 PM.
