Fed up with not finding the right saddle. Last year I got a Specialized Lithia for my bike, which worked okay-ish for a while, and only started chewing my bottom bits on rides longer than 40km. It was better that anything I had up to that point. But after a couple of 1000kms I got gatvol of constantly having chafed bits and pieces, and lumps and bruises down south. Thus decided to put a neat saddle on my new bike - which i got last week - from the start. So I started out with a Selle Italia Diva Flow. Which is a nice hard saddle, compared to the lots of padding the Lithia has. I didn't even feel that I had parts other that my butt. But the problem was, at 135mm it was way too narrow, my seating bones were practically hanging over both sides, as I need at least 155mm width. (According to the measurements taken when I got the Spezialized Lithia). So I took it back, and got the Diva Gel Flow. Which has great reviews all over the net. It is wider, but I don't feel any difference between it and my Lithia. After two rides I am not impressed at all. Still feels like I am sitting not on my bum, but rather on everything in front of my bum. Can anyone relate, and perhaps suggest THE saddle-answer to my problem? I am going saddle shopping on Friday again.
