Your cog is slipping.
That Odyssey saddle is a tiny BMX seat and not meant to be sat upon for any length of time. In other words, it will suck for any type of road bike use.

Look at women's saddles: Same look, wider at the back. Absolutely no indication that it's for the fairer sex when it's on the bike.

Selle Italia Diva gel flow. I've got one on my SSCX rig; it's super comfy and doesn't bust my nards if I flub a re-mount.

unless you're rocking a bike from the 1800's, GTFO with that Brooks ****.
I've always been an advocate for the Selle Italia Turbo. Works for my fat ass.
You can scour ebay / CL for the Lady Turbo. Same but wider.

wow a serious amount of Brooks hate here.
if we're considering 140 wide enough for a 'fat ass' then you might as well just look at every non race saddle out there. Selle San Marco Regal is even wider than that and (imo) looks better.

I have a Brooks Team Pro and a Turbo. As much as I do like my Turbo, the Brooks is far more comfortable.
