Narrow hiped boney arsed, what saddle are you on?
Quote | Reply
Narrow hips and boney arsed, tried a power saddle but that was like sitting on a razor blades, compared to my Adamo prologue which chaffs like anything!

What are you narrow hiped and boney arsed sitting on?

Can you elaborate on the "felt like razor blades" aspect?

Basically it was rock solid, when I rotated forward it was extremely uncomfortable, as I didn't feel there was enough sag on the middle, fore to aft I mean.
So my perineum was pushed against the saddle.
Not fun!
As a result I really couldn't rotate my pelvis properly.

Try the Dash saddles. I have the same problem and it's been great! They come in 3 widths....

I would but they are too expensive. £300 for a saddle borders on immoral

The stock Stage is only $229 or ~ 174 pounds. My backside loves it.

Sounds like you need an American friend to send you a "gift".

How do you guys have this saddle set up? I just got one and am finding it not quite what I was hoping. I've been on an Adamo Attack that is basically level to .5 degree nose up, set this one up in the same position and feel like I'm sliding off the front and using more shoulder to support on the pads. I got the narrow width as the Attack sometimes feels to wide in the flare.

Mines probably a half to even a whole degree nose up as measured by the flattish area of its top. If you get just a bit too far forward the down sloped nose will definitely skid you forward.

YMMV,

Interesting as it is designed to encourage forward rotation.
Your mention of perineum pressure has me wondering if you were seated too far forward or on a saddle too narrow.
