In the hopes that this could help any of my fellow dudes, I’m MORE than happy to report that I have apparently found a saddle that is both comfortable AND does not cause that extremely annoying prostatitis condition that I had experienced this year for the first time.
I had been riding on the only saddle I have ever found truly “all day comfortable”, the tiny little Selle SLR, and was really worried that I’d not find another that fit me as well and was “prostate friendly”. I was wrong.
The Selle SLK has nearly the same dimensions, but is sliced up the middle from the rear. I can’t really even tell a difference in the fit/feel, but apparently my insides can. It has been more than a month since I have been on the saddle and many many miles, with absolutely no reoccurence of the condition. The only drag is that its about 50g heavier, but still very light compared to most saddles.
To say I am delighted is a huge understatement. One does not realize what a joy it is to walk up to a toilet and pee until one cannot do so.
