vinylguy Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Hi all Is it possible to get measured for the correct saddle fit? Instead of buying and hoping for the best fit?
V12man Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Go to a specialised dealer and ask them - they have a butt sizing machine.. seriously...
Guest DieBees Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 They call it an assometer... Seriously. The wrong saddle can result in saddle sores, pressure sores and if this is acute it could mean surgery...

SwissVan Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Go to a specialised dealer and ask them - they have a butt sizing machine.. seriously... There is a cycle shop here that does a saddle fit by computer anlaysis using pressure sensors and you get to try different saddles to find which one suites you the best. If you dont find one they will make a personlized saddle for you. My wife bought me a gift voucher for a 60 minute session recently, but have not used it YET. Here's a google tranlated link, excuse the funny english... http://translate.goo...:en-GB:official Edited October 20, 2013 by SwissVan
eddy Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Asking for my wife. She definitely going to enjoy someone measuring her butt! Pick me ! Pick Me !! Alternatively, give the guys at Cycle Fit a call. they have all the Fizik saddles and the ability to match saddle to butt..
TALUS Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I did all of that. In the end it was still mostly trail and error. Unfortunately the whole process is not scientific because (hopefully) your butt gets tougher all the time and thus the last saddles are mostly more comfortably than the earlier ones.
Pure Savage Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I found that different saddles need to be set up slightly differently, wrt angle and fore aft adjustment. I was not happy with my fizik antares but played around with angle and what felt uncomfortable for 20km ended up being amazing for 180km. I think before I was too quick to judge. Life is much more pleasant with perfect saddle. Cuppa Bru and Jacques Viljoen 2
Jacques Viljoen Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 I did the complete GEO Fit at Specialized (Irmaflex) money well spent. It's not just for the pro's.
