Yeah, I've read that article and others like it. I still do not think that sit bone width should be the sole parameter considered in saddle fitting. IMO and IME a properly fitted racing saddle does not place all of your weight on the sit bones. It's more of a concern for upright recreational riders.

My feeling is that the currently fashionable LBS butt meters and techno babble exist mostly so manufacturers can sound like they know what they are talking about.
