Once your saddle is in a position that means you are no longer sliding to find the comfortable spot, one of three things will happen:
- Your saddle will feel just right
- It will be so horrible you can’t stand more than a couple of minutes sitting on it
- It will be slightly better, but still not fantastic.
If you fall into the second or third category then it’s safe to assume that the shape and profile of the saddle just don’t work with the way you are built down yonder.
If you find yourself tilting the saddle more than one or two degrees to alleviate this discomfort then I am afraid that a new saddle is on the cards.
Titling the saddle will force you to alter the way you distribute your weight across the rest of your body. More tension will be placed on your hands causing tension up the length of your arms. You will fatigue your leg muscles sooner because they will also have to tense up in order to keep you in the right spot on the saddle. In the effort to relieve the pressure on your soft tissue, you will inadvertently increase the amount of pressure in the perineum.
The solution: BUY A NEW SADDLE
