Hi guys!

Was hoping someone could help me out

i am fairly new to road cycling but i have already hit a problem

I am struggling to find a seat which i find comfortable.

I am on a selle italia at the moment and i really struggle with how uncomfortable it is

i know everyone get sore to start with and some discomfort is expected but i was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a comfortable saddle.

anyone bought or tried one of these?

the easy seat at the bottom of the page which is like 2 padded things for just your bum and does not have the sticky out thing.

advice would be greatly received.

    Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum,
    What might be right for you, may not be right for some.

    Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans.

    But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
    It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.

    1. Check that your current saddle is level.
    2. Are you wearing decent padded shorts?
    3. How long have you been riding for, it sometimes takes a while for your arse to get used to long spells in the saddle.
    4. Rather than trying a weird saddle, try a Charge Spoon (it's cheap & seems to work for a number of people).
