Ill start this post with a disclaimer: Im a big guy.
Here's the problem: Im a newbie to cyclocross (my first race tomorrow!) and Ive been practicing my mounts/dismounts. Ive been trying to hit the saddle with my thigh then slide on, but I have had the tendency to bend the saddle (two so far). The LBS repalced the original saddle (velo plush), but I doubt they will continue doing that. Any recommendations for a stronger saddle? Am I just remounting WAY wrong?
