Muirenn, I am indeed playing musical saddles because I can't find one that works for genital area,
sit bones and doesn't chafe. After realizing the b68 is impossible in the nose area, I went back to the
saddle that I rode for two years w/o problem until it "turned on me" and chafing began anew. The Lithia
by specialized. Strangely, I never noticed it was a 143mm!!! Weird. After 15 miles on it this am, the sit bones
were actually pretty happy. Genitals and chafing, not happy at all.
Maybe I didn't give the SMP saddles enough of a chance? I may go back to that bike store and try them again.
You like the Avant? Thanks for your help; I am really going nuts.

I have read and re-read the Steve Hogg info on the SMP, and it is very helpful. What I can't seem to figure out is whether
the SMP saddles will have that "wing effect" and cause me to get the inner thigh boils that I can't get rid of; both sides,
three different and new shorts. Feel like I am starting all over again to find a non-chafing saddle.
