Sit Bone Measurements

Baggervance

Hi all,

Just did a sit bone impression using play-doh which worked a treat but do you measure from centre of each impression or to the outer edges to get seat size.

Thanks for any advice

A bit of a gimmick IMO. I measured up as a 143 on the Spec pad and used a 143 Toupe for over a year. It was all right but not perfect. Now using Selle Italia Flite Gel Flo which are 130. Much better. It is the shape that matters and whether it suits you or not. The Toupe was too flat across the back.

Thanks for the reply, sure is a pain in the a - - e trying to find the right saddle, I ditched the Bontrager that came with my bike because it was uncomfortable and got a Selle C2, been using this for a while now but still not happy.
My saddle is the limiting factor on how far I can ride, fitness is pretty good but sore rear end takes it's toll.
I'm slim build and would probably be most suited to a 130mm saddle

I think with saddles it really is a case of trying a few until you find one that you are happy with. Try different saddles and still get problems ... then it is maybe not your saddle.

Before you started cycling did you ever imagine that you'd be measuring your @rse with the aid of Play-Doh and a measuring tape ?

and then posting questions about it on the internet ? :?
