The more I cycle, the less padding I have on my backside and the more my saddle hurts - especially with 30lbs of rucksack a lot of the time. Big bloke, bony arse, bad combo.
The Specialized Alias I bought is ok for general riding, but for anything over fifty miles, it starts to hurt. So I'm thinking of trying an Avatar next - looks like it's one step up in terms of padding. But they still only come in 155mm and TBH, I'd like something a bit wider - I'm still on the edges even at that width. May have to take Ed's advice and buy a B68.
Ed, have you been riding that Rido saddle? How wide does it come?
