  • I had a bike fit in July, everything has been great until the last few weeks. I’ve been getting saddle sores on the right side of my groin after every ride.

    I haven’t changed anything with the bike since the fit. Only thing that has changed is that my overall fitness has improved massively since the fit, I’ve been working out regularly, riding lots, and going to yoga.

    Anything obvious I should look at?

  • Has it coincided with the increase in wetter weather? Is it the same sore, which isn’t healing or are you getting multiple sores?

  • Have your bibs worn away? Saddle collapsed at all on one side/padding compressed due to riding more?

    Yes! Checked my usual bibs and the stitching on the right side is worn away/come undone.

    Has it coincided with the increase in wetter weather? Is it the same sore, which isn’t healing or are you getting multiple sores?

    Possibly? Though I haven't ridden in proper wet weather yet. It is the same sore.

    I've just had a week off the bike and it is almost healed. Went for a ride today with a newer pair of bibs and also straightened the saddle. Seems like those may have been the causes, fingers crossed.
