Saddle problem


Carbon Junky

Recommended Posts

Hi guys, really needing some advice here. My friend recently started cycling, but he struggles with his testicles after each ride. I advised him to get a ISM saddle, but that didnt work either as it was rubbing his legs on the inside. Anybody else have this kind of problem?

They are probably going numb because:

 

He needs a proper bike fit done

 

The saddle is not the correct type for him.

 

He should go and get a pro fit done. It'll save him a lot of hassle.

Correct saddle & bike fit should sort it out

 

( or else get rid of the testicles ;) - just taking 1 off did wonders for Lance.)

Try setting the saddle level (with the nose not up/down) - this helps for some. Can also check the overall reach.

Bike fit, possibly, needed.

 

leaning too far forward?

 

Also, is he wearing seamless / bibshorts?

is he riding with a regular underpants on?

Riding with undies on should be illegal. Cycling shorts = no underpants. Otherwise you will pay for the fault.
