saddles i have tried and not enjoyed
i'm currently riding an unbranded super padded ladies saddle. it's far and away the most comfortable ride i've had for three years (not a euph) but i get many comments from my "friends" about riding an armchair (their acerbity exacerbated by jealousy, no doubt, as it really is a wonderfully comfy ride). i'd really like to try out some more racing saddles because the previous five i've tried haven't worked for me at all and it's incredibly frustrating.
i've measured my sitbones at the specialized shop in cov garden, apparently i need a saddle between 143-155mm.
should i just try some more saddles out or is this something a bike fit would cover comprehensively?
synopsis:
- does anyone know which shops have tester saddles or
- can anyone recommend a bike fitting which covers women's saddles
thank you in advance... any help much appreciated!
