Total newbie here. I've done a handful of sprints, an oly, and one 70.3. I would say my weakest discipline is probably the bike, and part of that is that I've never really been able to find a saddle that is comfortable. Usually when I get into a groove on the ride, I start to get intense pain and numbness down there, sometimes even numbness in my toes. This causes me to switch positions around until I find a comfortable one which throws off my position on the bike.
I'm a big guy - 6'1" 215, I currently have the ISM PS1.0, had the Fizik Mistica, which was much much worse.
I'm on a very tight budget and don't have any wiggle room to try several different saddles and get fitted multiple times. Is there a way to dial in which saddle is best easily and cheaply?
Also, I'm not sure how much discomfort is common and I should just get used to. If I need to just suck it up and get over it, I can. Lol
Thanks for any tips and advice!
