I mean ow, it has been feeling really bruised for days. I never get this problem on the Merckx which, admittedly does have a slit down the saddle.

Some folx argue that sore ass is result of too UPRIGHT a position, as opposed to too forward a position. Reason, more weight on ass, less on hands.

Ah, the undiscovered poll option 'Too much weight on arse' now that I can believe.

I voted for option three but with a nod to the possibility of option 5.

The whole thing about how working yr legs harder keeps the weight off your arms & assbones was obviously cooked up by someone who didn't have to ride in stop & go city conditions.

Also, if you are riding clipless pedals then you are pulling up on the legs and therefore into the saddle.

one month passes...

New saddle, a WTB one bought and fitted. Much less arse hurt much more chafing. Will probably have to start wearing a chamois under jeans, or get callouses where there ought not to be callouses.
