That last ride on saturday of 40 miles has me sore now sitting in a chair. I think its my tail bone that hurts not my sit bones, so if thats your problem too I think I might need one of those saddles that have the hole in the middle.

So heres my question guys, is the saddle supposed to go between your sit bones, or are your sit bones supposed to go on the saddle?
Sitbones go on top. If they are straddling the saddle, you have an a$$ hatchet. You should feel little or no pressure 'up the middle.' Alot of the time, it does take long rides to expose the deficiencies. I ride Brooks (no cut-out), but they are not for everyone.
