So ever since my wife got her road bike last year, she's complained about the saddle - we bought her a Specialized Amira, which came with the Oura saddle. After constant tweaking and such, there is still a lot of soft tissue pressure as well as sit bone pain after longer rides.
The fitter at my bike shop then recommended to try the Specialized Power saddle which was better, but still not 100% - she could ride longer (a little over an hour before pain), and the soft tissue pain was pretty much all relieved with the larger relief channel, but her sit bones still bother her. She did sit on the "assometer" thing to measure her sit bones before choosing a size of 143mm.
So not sure if anyone has thoughts or ideas on where to go next - I just want to have some saddles in the back of my mind before going back to the fitter so we can have a good discussion about finding the right one for her.
Thanks!
