Saddle

    I am getting older (58) and am now finding that the saddles on all my bikes are uncomfortable. There is no polite way I can think to put this, they cut off the blood supply to my willy. Even fairly short rides produce an unpleasant sensation when I stop and blood flow returns.

    Should I worry about this? And suggestions to improve the saddle?

    I bought a Rido saddle and found it unrideable, it might work if I were bolt upright but no use for my Galaxy, Epic or Stumpjumper.

    Any ideas?

    I have a nice leather Regal on one bike and a Rolls San Marco on another. Until recently they have been comfy. WEnt out with the Rido again today and its OK on my Galaxy, I’ll get used to it and it cures the problem. Now for the other bikes.

    Glad it’s not just me, PJ.

    Phototext – when you say that this has happened as you are getting older – has your position changed on the bike? Are you more upright?

    Perhaps your tallywhacker might thank you for trying a Brooks? Admittedly they need to be broken in.

    If your Rido is headed for
    If your Rido is headed for Ebay, I might be interested! They suit me just fine…

    Seriously, most of us must have a box of saddles in the garage; I know I do (about 3 or 4, saddles that looked good but that just never suited me).

    Sorry, I’m in no way making light of your situation (heh, we all have saddle issues at times).. and appreciate you dont want to use colourful language on here ..
