Hello all,

I know this is a very personal question, and one persons sofa is another persons razor blade.

I'm on a Fizik Aliante at the moment, it great on the flat, really comfy, but when climbing hills I get numbness in the gentleman area.

I then have to stand to get the feeling back.

Is this something I can fix with saddle position or any advise on something similar that might help the numbness please.

Thank you.

    Difficult to suggest anything without seeing a pic of your saddle and/or knowing more about your position on the bike.

    Possible answers could be anything from adjusting saddle position, angle, setback, swapping saddle altogether, swapping shorts, or anything else in between.

    I would start with measuring your sit bones to rule that out but if it is fine downhill and on the flat it suggests a bike setup issue
