  • In fairness, when I tried it I couldn’t get used to it, then went back 2 years later.

    For context, you sit in the middle, the blue cross is your orifice for reference (very rough)

  • I found this really useful. Previously I've tried to sit up a bit on the saddle and this has caused perineal pain under the pubic arch which made me hate SMP saddles. I found it odd because in this position the saddle is incredibly comfortable but then the pain develops over time.

    Rolling the pelvis forward considerably like in this diagram seems to work better and seems to solve a lot of other niggles e.g knees, hands etc.

    Really noticing quite a bit of discomfort/pain on the ischiopubic ramus but I think this is because these bones have never really taken any weight before so it's a completely new feeling. Sounds like I should see if the discomfort decreases as the bones get a bit more used to it.

    Anyone else with similar experience?

    edit: I'm on a Nymber at 5.5 degrees

  • Fiddled with angle lots. Angle changes for me also require small changes in setback. If you’re having lots of IPR pain maybe try kick it back a bit to 5 degrees? I found beyond that I slid forward to the pokey nose bit as opposed to sitting in the middle but ymmv?
