Another saddle pain thread.
 

I did search but since a saddle is too personal, I just want to ask you guys an opinion. :)

If you look at the picture, I have a pain under a bone(red color) and it is not a sit bone for sure.

Here is my story.
I'm 150 and 5.11 skinny asian guy who doesn't have so much meat around hip.:lol:

1. I had a Selle SLR XP for my MTB and I had a pain at kind of root of my man part( hidden under skin ) so I change it to San marco and switch to road bike.
2. I used to have a San marco Aspide for over year and it was ok and comfortable until 30 miles. and I have a pain at red color marked area(green is hip bone). if you touch, you can feel the bone that connected a sit bane to middle of body. And also after 40 miles my man part become numb.
3. I switch to Selle SLC. it's very very comfortable until 20 miles. after it was the most painful saddle I had.

4. I'm looking for something else and thinking about to try SLR again.

What do you guy thinking? and any suggestions?
And money issue, I can't buy more and more.

Anyway, thank you guys.

I don't see any meat on your bones.
Stand up to pedal when your butt tells you too.

I've probably got the same body type as you - i'm Chinese, 5'10, 150 lbs.

The two most comfortable saddles I've used are the Selle San Marco Aspide Arrowhead, and the Specialized Toupé (my current favorite).

Give the Toupé a try, but make sure you visit a Specialized dealer that can properly measure your sitbone width - the Toupé comes in a couple widths and it's important to select the right one.

I've had saddle problems for a long while running now, though I don't have an Asian build (I'm Dominican, and have a lot of "meat" in that area). What helped me was getting shorts/bibs with better padding, and getting a Forte Carbon Pro SLX saddle. Much more comfortable than my Selle Italia C2.

I've been having a lot of fun with the numb dick thing. I switched to a Bontrager Inform RL saddle that got a lot more comfortable when I lowered it about a centimeter. I still get numb on long rides, but it goes away an hour or two after I get off the bike. Which is good. A lot less pain in the sitbones with the lower setting as well.

I don't have any numbless down there unless I'm riding the trainer/rollers, but that's mostly because my position never changes when I'm on the rollers/trainer.

Have you tried adjusting saddle height and tilt? Before you spend money on another saddle move your current one(s) around.

Hum, Thank you for good suggestions.
I'll consider about them all.

A bib, I used to wear Assos or Santini gel, so my bibs might be ok. :)

Yes, I did a nose down and it helps a lot of numbness but red color part, pain come back after 30 miles.
thanks.

Maybe try a SLR (not SLR XP).

I had almost identical issues until I figured out what I needed in a saddle: very little padding and a nice rounded area on the side of the saddle for my hamstring to move.

I, like you, have very little body fat in that area of my body, so when riding a saddle with padding, the padding, after my sit bones compressed it, would put additional pressure on my soft parts from the uncompressed padding.

Also, I found that I needed to move my seat more forward so my sit bones rested properly on the wide part of the saddle and to tile the nose of the saddle down a little bit.

^^^ thank you.
That's what I'm thinking. By the way, is there a lot different regular SLR and SLR XP?
because I only tried SLR XP on my mountain bike which might be a lot different from my road.

Nose down might seem like a good idea. But your pain and picture show that you are putting weight on your crotch. This could be from sliding forward on the saddle, with nose down. Try nose up (just a little) if you haven't already. This will level the sit area and keep you from sliding forward.

A bit off topic. I have a Fizik Arione saddle and have issues with the length of it. Is there a saddle with a similar profile but shorter?
