Component Deals & Selection / Wider carbon saddles
« on: February 26, 2017, 01:54:25 AM »
Hello All
I have been fighting a sore bum when on longer rides and I finally took the time to sit on the "funny" chair in order to have my sit bones measured. It turns out that I have a rather big distance between sit bones(142 mm) and therefore basically I can now throw out all the saddles that I have as they all are around 135 mm wide. Now I have been crawling around Ebay/Aliexpress and I have not been able to find carbon saddles wider than around 145 mm and I need at least 155 mm. Do anyone knows a vendor that are selling wider carbon saddles ?
I know that Specialized/S-Works are selling their premium saddles in different sizes but would like to try a cheaper option before I invest in a 200+$ saddle.
Thanks
Karsten
