My current (donated) saddle is rather uncomfy and wondering what I should replace it with.. question is, I'm not sure whether to go for a charge ladle or charge spoon.
I got my 'specialized saddle fit' – and was surprised to be told I have narrow 'sit bones', so I'm wondering whether it's worth getting the wider female version of the saddle – I have no idea how much shorter/wider it is than the spoon. (I have not tried either saddle as I'm too scared to just go up and ask strangers if I can sit on their bike!)
most of my riding is trail centre stuff – enough sitting that my saddle needs to be comfortable but as I roll a lot of the steeper stuff I need to get off the back of the bike quite quickly.. am worried the slightly wider ladle might get in the way of this
would there be much difference in comfort if I just got the spoon? my bum and associated bones are not really hurting at all – it's the uhm.. sensitive lady bits that are getting a bit raw and unpleasant, without wishing to paint too grotesque a picture!!
..or am I barking up the wrong tree and should I be looking for a saddle that has a hole scooped out the middle of it?
advice very much appreciated 😳
