My bet is that you just need a new saddle. Especially with noseless saddles, your putting all your weight on a part of the saddle where there is virtually no structural support. And saddles actually aren't designed to last very long, because typically durability pairs with break in time. I.e., you look at a Brooks, which lasts forever, but which takes a long time to break in. People want saddles that are comfortable NOW. In my experience, the shells and padding are therefore designed to be comfortable immediately, but at the expense of durability.

Thanks. I had also purchased a fizik tritone which I got on super sale awhile back. I have a international distance race this weekend so I'll keep the saddle on for that but then put the tritone on after that to see how that feels.

You should buy a new Cobb saddle.

if the tritone doesn't feel better then I probably will. I don't want to spend extra on a new cobb saddle if the tritone does the trick. I think I got the tritone on sale for maybe $60 and figured why not. So I'll try that and see how it goes. But getting a new Cobb is an option as well.

Were you on the trainer all winter (maybe even on a different saddle)? It can take some time to adjust to regular outdoor riding again.

fortunately I can ride pretty much year round. So been on this saddle off and on all winter. I have a different saddle on my road bike but always try to keep up with riding my tri bike.

You've either moved your saddle or you need a new one because the padding is wearing out. Reminds me that I need to get a new one, too. Several years of heavy use on my own and it's starting to hurt.

I used a Specialized Power for like almost a year with no issues.. many long rides with 5-6 hours in the saddle.. then all of a sudden my rear hated it.
Went back to the saddle prior to the power and I am happy again. Just had to switch.
