Not intending to beat a dead horse but I'm having difficulty finding a good saddle.
I know : try different ones, over and over and over again. Look at positioning. Etc.
It's frustrating.
I was looking at the Fizik saddles and discovered this "animal" spine thing they think is the answer. I was wondering if any of you have had any experience with this. I am super flexible (can just about put my elbows on the floor.) which would say I'm a "snake" but when I am riding the "bull" description sounds more like me.
Snake : Those with more flexibility bend to a greater degree at the lower part of the spine. In this position, the sit bones manage most of the body’s weight with little pressure on the genital area.
Bull : Those with less flexibility are not able to easily accomplish the high performance cycling position. To reach this position the pelvis rotates forward dramatically forcing the hips back. In this position, the rider’s weight is directed to the genital area.
Am I completely missing something?
