I am currently on the Adamo Racing saddle and am having some problems with it. Every other saddle I have tried with a nose hurts really bad. I love the fact that the Adamo doesn't have a nose. However I feel as if I am hanging off the sides of the saddle and it causes discomfort that lasts the next day. Will a Adamo road saddle that is 5mm wider be the solution? Thanks
Have you had your bike
Have you had your bike correctly fitted to you. As that could be an issue if you are sitting to far forward.
Yes I was originally on a
Yes I was originally on a 60cm Felt s32 with the same Adamo race saddle and I am now on a 61cm Cervelo P1 and when I was on my felt I wasn't sitting on my sit bones at all I was sitting on the soft tissue area. Now I am on my sitbones but not directly on them. I feel pressure on the sides and feel as though my sitbones are on the edges of the saddle hanging off. It feels as if the saddle is too narrow. On my Felt I would ride 20 miles and not be able to sit on the saddle for 2 days. Now I can ride Tuesday and Thursday however my Thursday ride I feel a little soreness on my sitbones but it is nothing compared to what it used to be. I got my Cervelo recently and have only done 6 or so rides.
i recently switched to this
i recently switched to this saddle.. and its been great for me... i had to lower my seat post though as this seat is taller than my previous seat. I also make sure not to sit too far foward which i tend to start sliding forward.. i have a pair of shorts that i realized are quite slippery.. so i make sure my sit bones are just on the part that is fatter.. without sitting to far back.
their website has a video so you can see where you are supposed to position yourself.
I assume you're asking about
I assume you're asking about the Road saddle?...
I have found that I like it's slightly wider profile compared to the Race model. It's a bit heavier, but for me (I have a slightly wider hip) it fits better than the narrower Race. I'm not sure if it's the extra padding or the 5mm width or both.
Hope this helps man..... saddle discomfort is the worst.
