Still trying to understand the 'logic' of why we torture ourselves and take padding off the seat, and add it to our shorts.
 Seems kinda bass ackwards doesn't it? |

saddle wear
does anyone have any conjectures with regards to the fact that I've worn out two saddles on the right side, and my left legs' medial collateral ligament is in pain?
am I just used to pedaling crooked? I used to have a problem with my fork, the dropouts were uneven and my bike tracked to one side, but I fixed it, the bike no longer tracks but I still have the problem with the saddle and leg. thanks |

Powderfinger- I use the WTB Speed V, and I like it.
Dousell- you have a problem, probably more than one problem. You need to find out what it is, and fix it. Soon. The first thing to do is to see by how much the length of your legs differ. It could be something as simple as getting a left crankarm 5mm shorter than the right. But that is just a giess on my part. A unusually good bike shop, a cycling coach, or a sports specialist physician with experience in cycling injuries are the sort of people you need to start talking to. |

You might consider consulting with a chiropractor; xrays may reveal a leg length discrepancy, an unlevel pelvis or even a scoliosis - all of which could contribute (in addition to your knee problem) to the abnormal wear that you describe.

Re: Saddle woes

My 2004 TREK 5200 (blue w/nude carbon) will be arriving next week. The Body Geometry Dolce on my 1980 FUJI will be transferred to my 5200 and the "whatever" from my 5200 goes to the FUJI. The first time I tried the DOLCE, I fell in love with it. No more numbness on long rides. My girlfriend really appreciates that.

The saddle that gets the highest average rating on www.roadbikereview.com and elsewhere is the Fizik Aliante. Expensive but most people rave about the comfort. Also popular is the Selle Italia Flite Kevlar.
