I just want to preface that I am confused but in no way mad:
I made a couple of replies in this thread that were deleted by the
moderator(s) and I am confused as to why. Apparently I broke some group
rule(?) and I'd like to avoid doing so in the future so would appreciate
getting some guidance
If you've thought leather saddles felt too hard and wooden, I recommend
going for an aggressive break-in that breaks the rules you'll often hear
about being minimal with anything you put on the saddle. So if you still
have a Brooks that you thought was uncomfortable, here is what I do to
break
Hey Emily,
I'm also a long legs, short torso person. My experience is that I need to
use a ridiculously tall stem with a short extension, but that doesn't
really apply in your case because the Bike Friday stem must already have
odd proportions.
More importantly, if your complaint with Brooks
A lot of great input here. I think I now know how individual an issue this
can be just from the comments.
For me, just recently it has turned out that all those Brooks C17s I have
ON ALL MY BIKEs are no longer working for me. This may be TMI but it turns
out that because of their shape, my

Emily, I have dealt with roughly your sort of physiological dimensioning my
whole riding life and currently have three variations of coping, each with
saddles that bear varying results. Those results have inseparable
connection to how well each of the bikes they are on fits me.

If the shape works on the liberator x they do have a gel version if it's
too hard. I wear padded shorts if I am going any distance. I believe you
can get padded underwear to go under regular shorts. Terry makes a city
riding saddle called the Cite X, or at least they used to. It's wider and

researching might find my comments helpful.)
Yes and I liked the Selle Anatomica one I tried. Still, it was too
narrow. I could feel the saddle between my sitsbones, not under them.
What's the guidelines for saddle
Hey all, thanks so much for your insights! I'm local to Portland OR, and
there is a bike fitter in town, Pedal PT, who also does physical therapy.
I've been wondering if I should get a fit with them, and it seems like I
should look into it more seriously.
My travel/adventure/distance bike is a
Roberta, have you experimented with a cut-out saddle?
