There's definitely a noticeable difference in the widths. If you're normally on 143, a 143 power would be what I'd go for. I only ride 143 powers on my bikes and have tried a 155 that I got cheap in the past but it gave me discomfort and rubbed my legs

I'm going to measure my sit bones at home tomorrow using the Specialized guide on how to do it. I suppose I'm on the slighter larger side of the size spectrum at 1.89m around 90-95kg. You would probably guess that the larger the person the wider their sit bones would be but I'm not sure if thats necessarily always true?
I sat on one of the arse measuring things once but it was over ten years ago and I'm fairly sure it was a Bontrager branded one.
I've never really felt very uncomfortable on a 143 saddle but this is now making me question if I'm actually on the best saddle width. I notice that I do tend to shift about on the saddle quite often though.I think I'll take a gamble and if doesn't work out then yeahdext has himself a new saddle

Provisional dibs on the saddle please
Just need to double check sizing
Edit: I’ll ask here
I’ve always used a 143mm normal saddle. Romin and Toupe have been my go to for years.
I’ve never used a power saddle. Am I right in thinking the 155mm saddle is the one to go for? Is there an element of sizing up?
I sat on an Arse-o-meter thing in a bike shop years ago and it put me on a 143 saddle. But I don’t remember what my sit bones actually measured.
