Guys,
Have a few short rides under my belt on my new sled and need some words of incouragement. Have to say this new Selle Italia XO Sudy on my Bike feels like I am wedging a triangular brick up my sit bones... pretty rough. The ride on the bike is wonderful BTW. I am resisting putting a Brooks B17 on the bike as I would prefer a more modern saddle as discussed previously. Which begs the question...will my sit bones adjust and toughen over time and just need to be firmed up a bit after a long winter? Is there hope for break in on this seat and my seat too or should I place a quick order for a new Arione and become a card carrying member? Reviews are very mixed on the Selle Italia XO...mostly bad.
Comments?...Thanks,
George
