On most rides I experience numb toes on the left side only. It is usually my outer 2 toes but also after the ride I find that my big toe is numb. It is most pronounced when I am pedaling with lots of force (uphill, paceline) but not so much when I am spinning. I have switched shoes, Diadora to Specialized (wider), and saddles, narrow Serfas to wider Koobi PRS. Both feel better but have not stopped numbness completely. I also feel some tingling with my left inner thigh and hamstring near the saddle. To top it off, my left testicle sometimes gets forced inside and my jimmy gets cold but not numb. These sensations all occur at moderate temperatures. I am 160 lbs, 6 foot, and ride a Cannondale.
My guess is this is a combination of fit and circulation. Anyone experience a similar situation and solve the problems?
