  • Does it feel like your bones are properly supported?

    I can feel that the part around the cutout meets my hipbones, over more than just one small area.

    And if so, do you slide around a lot? If so, that may cause friction perhaps?

  • no - it doesnt feel like my bones are supported.

    It feels like I need to be sat further back on the saddle, but if I was Id be hanging off the back. Then again, this is how I feel on every saddle..

    I tried tilting it up and then moving it back as well and still got chaffage on the inner upper sides of my thighs.

  • Have you tried different widths?

    I tried 143 avatar (hips not supported at back cos narrow) then 150 Regal (width OK but no cutout...ouch!) Then SMP trek (width OK but nose too wide and too soft so got saddle sores in inner thigh) then selle SMP pro (wide at rear, narrow at front) width OK, front OK. Yay!

    Normally sitting too far back = saddle too narrow. Which model are you on? I eyed up some in the local shop to compare ;)

    Your sitbones should pretty much be on the rear edge of the saddle, it usually take a while to relaxed and actually sit differently on the middle.
