I'm not sure if it's my position (aero), saddle (V Flow Plus), or shorts (tri) but when I am on the tri bike all of my seat pressure is directly on the outer seams of the chamois pad and the edge of my saddle cutout (because it's a wide saddle). The edge of the chamois then digs into my skin and is really uncomfortable. Nothing's painful on the soft tissue, but I just seem to be putting my weight directly on the seams on a small surface area of the saddle. I went to my doc a day after a ride (unrelated) and she could see the outline of my bike seat all around my soft areas, there's that much pressure.

I'm not sure if the seat/cutout should be narrower, so that more of the pad is touching the seat (right now all of the pad "fits" in the large cutout, almost rendering the pad useless), or if the chamois itself can be wider so I am not putting pressure on the outer seams.

Has anyone experienced this and found a fix? I know there are a million saddle and shorts questions out there, I hope this isn't just a repeat of those. Thanks!
