As far as I can tell this is the curse of road cycling. There are so many variables involved. Like are you a new cyclist who hasn't yet ridden enough and/or far enough to know what works for you? Will your saddle needs change once your butt is in shape? How about if you lose weight. Or if you change position on the bike. Raise your saddle? Lower your saddle? Invariably I've ended up with that box full of saddles I mentioned.
I rode tonight on a new "loaner" saddle and it was pretty good. But, it was a short ride (25 mi.) without a lot of climbing but including some serious hammering. Yet to see how the saddle will work for 50+ mi.
