So, Ive been noticing lately that everyone and their grandma seems to think theyre a saddle connoisseur, spewing out advice left and right on how to choose the perfect perch for your behind. But lets be real, most of you are just regurgitating whatever marketing fluff you read on the manufacturers website or parroting what your local bike shop guru told you.
Newsflash: theres no one-size-fits-all solution here, folks! I mean, have you seen the vast array of derrières out there? Its like trying to find a needle in a haystack, except the needle is shaped like a human butt and the haystack is on fire.
So, heres the question: whats the real deal when it comes to selecting a saddle thats actually tailored to your riding style and body type? Are there any actual, concrete guidelines or is it all just a crapshoot? I mean, do you just close your eyes, spin the wheel, and hope for the best?
And dont even get me started on the whole try before you buy debacle. Who has the time or resources to test-ride every saddle under the sun? Thats like saying, Hey, go ahead and buy a dozen different bikes, take them all for a spin, and then decide which one you like best! Um, no thanks.
So, saddle gurus of the world, put your money where your mouth is. Give me some actual, actionable advice that doesnt involve breaking the bank or sacrificing a small animal to the cycling gods. How do you really, truly choose the right saddle for your riding style and body type? Inquiring minds want to know!
