I stand corrected, but is that not more a saddle problem than a fitment one?

like blisters on hands and feet, yes you can adjust gloves and shoes but to a certain extent you need to harden the skin up as well...

Try a Spez power saddle, don't ride with under wear and invest in really good bibs.

^^^ THIS.

 

Even if you think you didn't sweat, wash them.  This, together with chamois cream, cured my saddle sores.

I do roughly 10+ hours a week, believe me its like leather down there, just ask the doc that had to cut it out.

Hi , don't mind chatting about it in the open, might be helpful for someone in the future.

 

I have had a few normal ones that come and goes, but have 2 major ones that's really getting to me.

Its on the side, left side normally flares up ,then I adjust the way I sit on saddle to avoid it only to create another one on the right. Then finally I move all the way to the front only to cause another one there... yes horrible.

 

Noticed some bike fitting shops have a load sensors that they place over saddle to see how you move during rides , this will probably best with my situation.

 

Any bike fit shop in CT have that?

the gearchange has one i think

Perhaps a Specialized body geometry fitting? Apparentlty quite the business. Can't be pleasant what you going through.
