Hello folks, I come to the group with a dilemma. I've never had a saddle that I could ride for longer than 20 miles comfortably. I've always ended up with sore sit bones, numb soft tissue, or both. This has really limited my ability to go on longer trips and after my five day ride on the C&O canal trail last Sept, it was more apparent than ever I need to find a saddle that won't hurt.
I've tried dozens of saddles over the last 15 years- leather, plastic, cutouts, no cutouts, wide, medium, softer, harder, you name it. :( Most of the saddles that have stayed on my bikes for longer than a month have a central cut out, are on the wider side, and plastic. They're good for around town, but that's it. I've never had my sit bones measured. It occurred to me recently that because I've never had a truly comfortable long-distance saddle, I have no idea how one feels. So I figured I'd ask the group. How did The One saddle feel for you? Did it "disappear"? Was it love at first sit? Did it need to be adjusted a lot before finding the ideal position? Is there a certain amount of miles you ride before it becomes uncomfortable? I'd love to hear the group's collective wisdom so I know what to look for in the next saddle I try out.
