saddle size help
 
i'm 5'11'' - 160 lbs.

i've tried two size 130mm saddles and both have been uncomfortable - (regular specialized, and a selle italia SLR)

does this mean i just need a bigger saddle (143mm)? or the saddles i've been trying just suck....?

i'm thinking about trying the 143mm specialized toupe.

You're LBS will probably have a sit bone measurement device from Specialized. Go sit on it.

I gotta tell you for me when it comes to saddles less is more. I like some small seats and I am 6'2". I ride a carbon Flite and really like it.

My LBS had one of those measuring devices. But when the guy started lubing it up..... I left !
