DoubleJ Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Yeesh I've had the worst pain in my coccyx over the last few days. Just returning from injury now, Fizik Tundra saddle, some lekker endurance bibs, saddle straight....yet when I get off my bike I have to do it slowly as pain shoots through my hol like I had a sleepover in a community jail cell for a minor offense. Anyone been through this, please tell me there's light at the end of this dark "tunnel" for me. I've thought about using some of our baby's teething gel to numb it, but the minty flavor makes my eyes tear up.
Thor Buttox Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Had a Tundra that came with my Anthem - most unpleasant saddle I have ever had. Had to sell the bike to my mate - loved the bike, but replaced the saddle after one ride. Never had your symptoms though!

Rocket-Boy Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 ONly ever heard bad things about the tundra.Sat on one for the first time this weekend and its like sitting on a weirdly shaped rock!

Chances are you bruised your chommie and now it is healing slow because of all the riding. Maybe get off your bike for a few days and try again. I got a new saddle recently that was giving me a kick in the butt... but is comfy now.

DoubleJ Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 I've been off my bike for 2 months due to surgery. Maybe I must just get the bloody Spez Phenom and be done with it.
Hennie VR Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Your saddle might be to narrow.Go to a decent bike shop and let them measure you and recommend the correct width saddle.
Thor Buttox Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I've been off my bike for 2 months due to surgery.Maybe I must just get the bloody Spez Phenom and be done with it.Get your pelvic bones measured on the Assometer,and find out what width you need. Did that on my road bike and it was much more comfortable on a 142mm than a 130mm
nonky Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 get your butt measured and then try for or 5 diff seats AND different seat widths of the same seat.I know spez saddles come in at least 3 different widths for each saddle
BarHugger Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Maybe have a look at saddle height. Too high and you have an increased sideways rocking of the pelvic girdle. Lower saddle a bit and try again. Quite a bummer to sort out.

Thor Buttox Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 I just poped Phenom on my hardtail. Not a Spez fan but this saddle is king! How much is it? My ancient Fiziq Gobi is on it's last legs and I need to replace it
DoubleJ Posted July 2, 2015 Author Posted July 2, 2015 I cant remember if I was a Bull or a chameleon... I know my hol measured 135mm.... I was very embarrassed when they asked me to measure it instore the first time and they told me to wash the ruler when I gave it back.

Lucky they didn't ask you to use a protractor!!
