I'm so tired of looking for saddles.
If you're my size, and happy with the saddle you're on. Lemme know. I realize sit bones are different for everyone, but I'm just wore out on the saddle search.
I've used: 155mm Avatar (stock on the bike) - too wide
Fizik Arione (too narrow, i end up sitting on the peak down the middle with no support for the sit bones)
I'm currently riding a 143mm Toupe. I thought this would be the saddle for me. For rides under 2 hours, it probably would be. But I'm on the bike 13-14 hours per week and by the time I roll around to a off-the-bike day, I'm hurting. It feels like my sit bones are trying to carve a niche in the saddle. It's not bad in the drops, but I like to ride on the hoods once in a while too.
So... all that said. I'm looking at the Sella Aspide Arrowhead (or the gelaround version of the same). A lot of the reviews there mark that the saddles are a little on the narrow side, but if they're a flat playing surface, that might work out for me.
Everything is delayed for me because I'm overseas without a bike shop that stocks a bunch of saddles to try and I'd like the next saddle to be "the one." Hah.. wouldn't that be great?
