I all,
I'm getting 'blister' type sores from my saddle (Selle Italia C2 Genuine Gel Saddle). The sores are on the area I would discribe as my sit bone - or the points where you hip bone rests on top of the back end of the saddle. I now have lumps were the sores are and after longer rides they are open and incredibly painful (sorry if thats to much detail). I'm unsure if this is a saddle fit issue, a riding bikes for several hours a week issue or a problem with the saddle design. Other than the sores that I'm getting the saddle feels really comfortable.
I think the problem might be design. If you have a look at the saddle (http://www.probikekit.com/display.php?code=s3026) you can see the Selle Italia logos are located in the area where I'm having the problem. The logos are on a raised plastic type disc which sits above the leather. I think it might be contact with the 'front' end of these logos thats causing the rubbing. I wear quality knicks and have tried with and without anything underneath.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions welcomed. I'm a uni student and would really prefer not having to go through an expensive saddle buying experiment.
Cheers
