Preface: I've been on ST for more than 14 years, so I know this is a delicate subject that offers nothing more than n=1. I'm hopeful someone has had a similar experience and can get me going in the right direction, so I don't have to spend a small fortune trying to find some comfort. I was fitted so it's not necessarily a fit issue.
I've been riding the Cobb SHC on my road/cross bike, which is mostly ok. However, I think it flexes too much and causes some undercarriage discomfort after 45-60mins. Previously, I tried the Spesh Romin which I liked but it rubbed my thighs raw. I also tried the Bontrager Montrose and it was ok but I could never find that sweet spot. Was always moving around and/or adjusting the tilt.
Back to the Cobb SHC. I think I like the general shape of the saddle and the flat profile but need something more firm. What saddle might that be? I thought I read somewhere that the SHC was based off the shape of the Fizik Airone but I would definitely prefer a saddle with a cut-out.
Any advice?
