ricky1980

I am looking for a comfy but sporty saddle. Came across the specialized Romin range. just wondering about sizing...what is the measure for? the length of the saddle? or the width? 130/143/155/ also how is this measured against my butt ?

thanks

Haha it's the width in mm between your two 'sit bones' (the bony bits of your ass) when you are in the saddle.

You can go to a Specialized store and they will measure it for you, but I have heard that many pros just use the 155 regardless...

Put ink or paint on your two bare seat bones and sit on a piece of white paper on a low seat like a coffee table. Then measure the distance between the centers of the two impressions. Then look on the Specialized website to find the saddle width that's best for you. Remember to wash the paint off your ar*e before the wife comes home!

or......... :roll:
- Go to a Specialized dealer and use their 'assometer'
- put a sheet of tin foil on the second tread of your stairs sit on it in your pants and measure the indentations

You can now get the Romin in 168mm as well (ass well?)
