Why get a fitted saddle ?
We are not all made equal ! and that certainly goes for cyclists when it comes to the old posterior. Your sit bones or Ischial bones to give them the correct name can determine the width and shape of the saddle. Alongside the sit bone width another crucial factor is flexibility of the pelvis (pelvic rotation) which shouldn't be confused with the flexibility of the back. Using the measurements taken then calculating your body mass from your weight and height we have all the information we need to choose the correct style and type of saddle for your riding style. It’s a bit more sceintific than the hit or miss saddle choice that comes standard on your bike !
Not everybody needs a bespoke saddle and hundreds of riders crack on with the saddle fitted as standard on their bike with no problems. Saddle fitting takes it to the next level and is especially usefull for those who are having problems with saddle soreness or numbness which can be caused by the wrong width or style of saddle. Other reasons for numbness or soreness may be the set up of your bike and saddle position / angle. We recommend a full bike fitting first to set up your position correctly which often resolves saddle issues without the need to spend more money.
We are always happy to give advice on saddles if you are in any doubt about what you need … Just give us a call.
