Seat for mtb

[DubbelBuys]

Could it also be that I'm not yet comfy with my seat because it's not yet 'broken in' according to my physique.

 

How long does it take to 'brake in' a saddle?

 

This saddle on this bike also felt good for a cheapie

Saddles don't get "broken in". Unless you are talking about a Saddles Steakhouse. You butt get use to it.

Yeah-I meant 'getting used to'. I do get a discomfort in the hip area too & I can just lift up for a few seconds & I feel it's better already. Didn't have this on my X-mission saddle, but the X-mission was 'hurting' me / pushing up towards the front end of the saddle although it was set level

What shorts do you ride with?

[BergForce]

SDG Formula FX or for more padding SDG Formula MT. Go for the I-Beam format. Everybody I know who has tried SDG says they like it and is comfortable.

Now that's the big Q? I don't ride with any 'supportive' shorts yet. Looking at buying the First Ascent singletrack in the (very) near future. Guess it's gonna make a BIG difference?

[gummibear]

That could be your problem,first get some good quality shorts/bib and then try the seats.That could save you some money.

[DubbelBuys]

Makes sense. Will try & report back after trying.

 

Thx
