Have a female friend with saddle discomfort. Any suggestions for some sort of fitting service and/or technical advice?
Thanks 😊

We need the DP saddle library we talked about!
Has she tried Selle Italia Diva Flow? That's worked well for quite a few of us women in the club.

I believe Herne Hill Velodrome has a few models of different brands for testing.
I use Selle Italia on all my bikes, not gel, but the thin one.

Specialized have a good range of women's saddles of different shapes and styles depending on where the pressure is, and their concept stores used to provide an undignified memory foam butt measurement service so they can recommend the best fit. Not sure if that's still a thing. All the same, I found that trial and error was the only way to find the right one, sadly. For what it's worth, I favour the Specialized Power Expert.

Who wants to draw up a list of saddles for a library. Think it’s a good idea

It was Sara Barman who had the idea originally...i think we'd need input from a few people...so many of us have had difficulty until we found the right one! |

London Bike Kitchen were operating a saddle library, I'm not sure if that is still going, but see here: lbk.org.uk/pages/saddle-libraryThey are a fantastic enterprise, well worth supporting. I have a Bontrager Ajna which was fitted by Cyclefit and I am extremely happy with it... it's also the saddle of choice for Jen George and many other women. Unfortunately Cyclefit no longer do saddle only fittings but it's probably something that should be looked at as part of a comprehensive bike fit in any case. |
