Small update on this thread....I tried the Well and thankfully I got it from Nashbar a few weeks ago because it's already been refunded. It was terrible for me, it did minimize the chafing I was having as compared to the TRK but the sit bone pain was unbearable. It lasted I think 4 or 5 days (I do two rides a day btw) before I put the TRK back on and placed an order for the SMP Extra Gel from Nashbar.

I've had the Extra Gel on my bike a little over a week and have been making small adjustments to it, and it's working ok so far. I do have a little bit of perennial pressure that I don't really like too much and the chafing is similar to what I experienced with the Well....as it should since it's basically the same shape as the Well as viewed from directly above the saddle. Sit bone pain isn't anywhere near what I experienced with the Well either. It takes until about an hour or so before things start to feel like the saddle is too firm but that is nothing compared to how the Well felt. The last ride I did with the Well I was feeling it within 15 minutes and had to change it out mid-ride at around 50 minutes back over to the TRK.

I'm hoping that with a comprehensive bike fit that things will get dialed in and the saddle will become more comfortable still. I have a fitting scheduled for the 28th at my LBS. I plan on discussing this saddle and others during that time. It's unfortunate that they only have a few SMP's that I can demo there (Drakon, Stratos, and Pro) because I do like the huge cutout in the SMP's. Personally I believe that I would be really happy with the Extra Gel if it had a wider cutout....but the extra padding seems to narrow it a good amount.

Another saddle from a different brand that I have on my radar is the Cobb Randee.....but my biggest concern with that one would be since it's so wide in the front that I would have chafing issues. The cutout on that one looks nice and wide but I'm not so sure if it's going to be too wide overall to be comfortable.
