It seems that this desciption from the post above describes how I ride and my problems perfectly (sorry...I am new to forums and not entirely sure how to work all the attachments and quotes properly)
"You've got a classic case of chafing (butt/ham crease) that screams "too wedged!" and sliding back on the saddle could well be an attempt to get a bit more landscape for the sits and to get away from that too-gradual transition.
The inner thigh chafing could be from a nose that is too wide, or a side effect of trying to clear your hip joints by shifting backwards (so the inner thighs rub on the transition zone).
You could have a saddle that's perfect in every way: wide enough for your sits, minimally padded or cut-out enough for your bits, and at the perfect height and tilt... but if that transition from sit-to-nose is too gradual for your hip joint motion, it's all over! You'll chafe, you'll squish, and you'll shift around all the time."
I guess my next question is: Do you know of a better Brooks saddle that would work for me? I love the look of the leather. I guess I have some bike vanity issues![]()
