The current saddle I have worked well for me on my Fuji Tahoe MTB; So much so that I purchased another one for my Trek FX. Problem is that I have been feeling a bit more discomfort while spending more time on the saddle. Ironicaly, the "break-in" period went well. The first couple of hundred miles went great (unlike the stiffer saddle that came with the bike). It's almost as if the saddle feels a tad bit to wide now. In addition to the pain I felt a couple of days ago, the toes on my right foot felt as if they had fallen asleep.

My weight has remained unchanged for the past 4 years or so, so I can't say that my saddle discomfort is due to weight gain. I have micro adjusted my bikes to near perfection, so it's not (imo) due to improper fit. However, I am not an expert at bike fitting, so I might be completely wrong. I'm just wondering if the width of my saddle had something to do with the discomfort I felt.

Today I didn't get a chance to ride (dark rain clouds, high wind speed again, plus I got busy at work). Tomorrow I hope to ride again, hopefully do over 20 miles this time in order to get a better idea of what is the true cause of my discomfort.
