Looking for suggestions for similar saddle
To disable ads, please log-in.
Yesterday I went for a 19 mile ride on my new bike. At first the saddle was quite uncomfortable in the front area but toward the end of the ride it was tolerable and I sort of forgot about it. I'm not sure if the discomfort subsided or if I became numb to it. Other than that and the width, I really love the saddle. It is a Prologo Nago Evo X10. It's relatively flat (semi-round) and thin and rather firm. It has "active density" padding with a microfiber cover. The dimensions are 135 x 208 (per my tape measurer- this particular saddle doesn't show up on the Prologo website).
For some reason the profle pic keeps showing up upside down. Grrr
I tilted the nose down a bit after my first short test ride, and that helped a bit. I may tilt it down a bit more for my next ride. However, the pressure is not on my pubic bone, it is more of a squished feeling going on between my legs with some pinching every now and then.
I figured the first thing to do would be to see if the manufacturer makes a female version. They do, but the shape appears a bit different. There is no cutout; instead, it has sort of a divit in the seat, which I think would be acceptable. I'm just not sure about the shape.
They also make another "female" saddle that looks to have a decent shape:
When I did the sit bones measurement and chart, it puts me right on the cusp of 145-155 seat. I can't remember my exact measurement...maybe 130-135? I like that this new seat is narrow, so I am more apt to lean toward a 145mm seat. I also did the chair test and determined from that that I don't necessarily need a cutout, although the Prologo is making me question that. I just finished reading through another thread on here from a few years ago about T-shaped saddles and I have a Ruby Pro that I am bidding on on ebay based on info from that thread.
Anyways, what other saddles do you suggest that I look at?
