I recently had my sit bones measured at 140mm. When the person checked on his cahrt he told me I needed a 150mm sadlle.

Research prior to this online had suggested that the saddle size is the sit bione measurement plus 20mm.

I have been looking at WTB saddles and they make a 142mm and 150mm saddle.

Which size is correct?

As I may well need to make this purchsae online I wnat to make sure I get it right

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best bet is finding a retailer that offers saddle testing so you can try them.

    You basically want to add about 10mm from the width of your sit bone to get the saddle fit right but it is a trial an error thing some people get on better with saddle A at 150mm wide while others get one with saddle B at the same width.
