my toes start feeling numbness 15-20 min. sitting in the saddle.
What I've done/doing:
1) Total tanding time of one minute for every 15 min. keeps it to a minimum.
2) I've tried various saddles but none have worked yet. The best saddle yet (not cured by any means) is the Fizik Arione. I thought by measuring my sit bones at the LBS and trying a Specialized Alias saddle would work, but 12 minutes into it and I was going numb.
3) Wearing gel bibs from Performance has giving the bigest difference from any product.
A friend told me to find out if it's blood circulation numbness or nerve numbness (stop and pinch the area, if it hurts, then it's blood. If it doesn't hurt then it's nerves.). It's nerves.
Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions on why this is happening?
