ha! to be fair, I've got a ryet saddle and it's not a bad quality thing. The cheaper £25 full carbon 3d printed ones that is. Only issue is that it was too wide for me. - Bought it before I learned that my cheeks need narrower saddles.

Yeah I've been using one since November 2023 and it's given me zero issues and because of that, I'm open to taking a punt on a different shape. Cheap enough you can experiment.

Been getting really confused because i've been getting some weird readings on a few recent bike rides. For example this ride only showed 3.4km when it should have been around 20km

Not sure why this is only showing 3.8km! | Strava

Annoyingly Strava doesn't seem to let you edit the distance anymore.

If your GPS data is there, then can't you use the 'correct distance' from the activity popup thing, rather than editing the distance directly? Where the correct elevation and crop options are. I think the only activities you can directly edit the distance to change it are manual entries.

Other than that, download the original then use something like gotoes to edit/correct/fix it. Gotoes is one of the few 'free' things I've ever actually donated money to. Amazing tools there & saved me lots of pain through the years!

I really shouldn't as need to be saving for the house move but last night as I was adding webpages to that fabled 'bike folder' I was looking at the Bjorn saddle which I think just looks super cool... Turns out Ryett have made their own version of it and it's currently only £65 compared to the real deal being £350...

I shouldn't... but I may...

Thanks for the link!

Have been considering saddle change on my Turbo setup for a while... I probably have enough others to shuffle around rather than buying new but you know how it is...! ;)

I picked up a saddle sore mid-Jan on a big ride and it took me 3 weeks to really shift it. Seems any time I do a longer distance/brutal ride on there I end up suffering. But I'm kinda used to that anyway! Even yesterdays jolly by the end I was consciously standing on 2 sections of the course to aid/assist/reduce - was telling myself to stand on the rollers most laps (so 30s every 3 mins) wasn't quite enough one getting towards 2 hours. Nearly swapped the saddle afterwards, but realised where my problem might be coming from... I'd measured the saddle flat/angle same as my outdoor (where I'll do 5-6 hours+ without issue), then my turbo setup has a front wheel riser so the saddle nose is actually point up! What an idiot (I know it doesn't need one but I prefer the feel of the front wheel mostly stable rather than twitching around)! Will drop it back down, but as with any change like this will need to get used to it... So getting ZRL race tomorrow out the way first... :cry:

Awesome. I was looking for that but couldn't find it. Now it's nicely updated. Thank you

How wide and if you're not using it wanna shift it? I'm one of these people with a legit fat arse (as proven by an expert) who needs wider saddles :D

Think they're 144mm assuming it's the same as @Junglist and I have

I've been looking at the Ergon range of saddles. I've recently bought their grips for my hardtail which i'm turning into a hideous franken-endurance/ultra focused bike. Those with a sensitive stomach look away now. Their saddles seem very highly rated for long duration rides.

Eurgh that is a pretty hideous view! ;) :cry:

Ah, 144mm wide isn't enough for me. I changed from the standard Powers 143mm to the wider 155mm
