I've got an old bike on a turbo in the garage, but I'm currently finding that after about 20mins my 'gentlemans area' is going numb, I've checked saddle height and made sure it's level, but that's not fixed it. What else can I try to make it better? Thanks

Tilt it forwards? Move it forwards? Saddle with a lurve groove?

stand up for ten seconds every now and then to let the blood circulate

I had the same on my roadie. Tilting the saddle slightly forward helped and then I dropped the saddle a tiny bit and have been relatively fine since.

Same here, the worse (of many) thing about using the turbo. Never an issue on the road

Youve rem membered to pack /lift the front wheel up, so the wheels are the same height off the floor.

Some deep heat and a picture of Margaret thatcher will see you through.

Are you sitting on the saddle correctly? I.e. your sit bones are pressing on the wings of the saddle, you might have to tilt your pelvis back to do this.
