Saddle?

Underscore

I can't give you any direct advice since I've not experienced what you are describing but my wife was complaining about some discomfort during/after riding a while back. I adjusted the saddle so that it was dead level and her knee cap was above the ball of the foot when the crank was at the 3 o'clock position (which meant moving it forward a bit) and the problem has completely gone away.

So make sure your current saddle is properly adjusted. If you still suffer, it is probably time to look for alternative saddles but you probably want to see if you can borrow one before shelling out - they are expensive things to buy only to find that you don't get one with the new one either!

HTH,

There are loads of discussions on here about that problem. Saddle fit normally seems to be the answer, Specialized cut outs or possibly a Rido or Adamo Saddle?
