not tri-bike specific, but applicable to tri / road / gravel, I think. I can ride almost anything short of a splintered plank of wood outdoors, as long as its fitted correctly. Indoors seems to be more of a challenge to get right. I'm wondering how those 2 things relate, should I be looking at solving the indoor situation with a new saddle, or would I be better off with using the saddle(s) that I like for outdoor riding and looking at making the ride experience indoors more like outdoors, whether that's switching to rollers, a rocker plate, a Kurt rock n roll trainer, etc? or both? or something else?This is a great question, and I'm in danger of derailing the thread, but indoors the fact that your bike doesn't move side-to-side is a huge component of indoor discomfort. I've talked to people that used those bumper plate things under their trainers to add some suspension. I think short of that a neoprene saddle cover, or a saddle with more padding, would help.
That said, it's a magnifying issue. Anything suboptimal outdoors will be magnified indoors. For either drop bars or time trial applications the *right* saddle, for you, in your position, will help.
What are you on now?
