I don't have a numbing problem, but an issue of constant tenderness where my legs meet my groin area. I switched to the split saddles years ago because I had numbing issues. I originally went with Adamo ism, and it was perfect, then suddenly, out of nowhere it hurt me. Then I switched to the Cobb max for a year and half, then to bontrager Hilo when I bought my SC. I did try the cobb 55 but it seems too wide.
I have always had pain or tenderness in the "meeting" area and also developed saddle sores. I am just getting back on the bike after more than 18 months off...baby and trying to focus on wife and being first time dad etc.
I want to ride tri and road, but I'm remembering how frustrated I always was during riding and after. I have to say the amount of time I was truly comfortable on my bike was probably less than 10% of my rides. I always tried to tolerate the pain etc.
Yes, I have been fit (almost 2 years ago) and can get in for adjustments (which I should since I gained 25+ pounds).
I just want to know if there is any hope out there for me...what is wide enough for numb issue, but narrow enough for no rubbing etc.
