This sort of CRAP appears every few years.
remeber the average pro rides 25,000 miles a year and you'd be stunned how many have 3 or more kids
Voight 6
Boardman 4
Just for a start.
Me over 40 average 250 miles a week and no Wood dramas0 -
I would have thought that wearing tight lycra and having a very sexy female cyclist (especially if she is wearing lycra with no knickers) ahead of you could lead to some embarrassment. Especially if such a seat gave you a bit more room to move and much better blood flow......0

Our club TT star has an Adamo saddle and has recommended them to other testers. If you're a bit lardy (like me) then if you go straight to an aero position then things tend to get a bit crushed.
I'm being talked into doing a 12 in August and might consider one. The Spesh Toupe got a bit uncomfortable on a 100.0 -
I am seating on my ar*e not my penis/testicles so I don't know who came up with this problem. Perhaps it has more to do with bicycles with drops...0

Quite. I guess you must be like me - sit on the saddle and rest your tackle on the aero bars. :shock:Nobody told me we had a communication problem0 -
I have no problems in this department.0

I use one of these. Most comfy seat I've ever owned. 8)0 -

If I had a mutton dagger like you I wouldn't ride a bike - I would use it as a pogo stick to bounce around. What I meant though was that while on an upright bike your testies aren't being squashed by the nose of the saddle the situation appears to be different when you are hunched over drops, non?0 -

It's not really about squishing your todger or nads, it's more to do with putting too much pressure on your perineum (also know according to Roger's Profanasaurus as the Barse for men or the Biffin Bridge for women), It contains a lot of important blood vessels and nerves and regular application of pressure for long periods is suppose to cause problems.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX

On a road bike you do rotate further forwards and so put extra perssure on. However, if your saddle fits correctly and is flat rather than angled up or down you shouldn't have excess pressure.Mud - Genesis Vapour CCX
