Saddle Help Thread
I know there are plenty of saddle tip and help threads out there, and yes I have used the search function, but I did not quite get the solution.
Here's the issue. I've tried two saddle thus far. First one is the saddle that came with Kona Jake 2012 model, and the other one is Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow. I rode total of 400 km on the first one (maximum distance in one trip: 42 km) and I rode total of 600 km on the second one (maximum distance in one trip: 76 km). Both hurts but on different spot.
First Saddle:
-My urethra hurts since there are almost no ditch.
-Everything else was basically fine.
Selle Italia C2 Gel Flow:
-My inside crotch near the groin hurts for rubbing the saddle too much.
-My inner side of sitting bones hurts terribly after 50 km.
I often change the way I sit to keep my ass from hurting but I realized it's not enough. It hurts anyway.
Since I said in the Selle Italia section that my "inner side" of sitting bones hurt, I thought maybe the saddle is too small, but I realized that's not true because my First Saddle was smaller. I am a pretty small guy (162 cm = 5'4) so Selle Italia can't be too small for me. Perhaps it's the shape of the saddle that's not good (or maybe shape of my ass). I also thought it's not the problem with cushions because the First Saddle was harder.
Do you guys have a suggestion on what kinda saddle I should buy?
