Turbo trainer saddle pain

    Is it normal to find that your usual comfy minimalist saddle when out on the roads becomes an almost medieval torture device when using your bike on the turbo for an hour or more? 

    I’ve got a Specialised Tuope comp saddle that on rides up to three plus hours never seems to give me any grief.  On the turbo very different story. 

    So is this normal and if not what am I doing wrong? 

    Thanks for any help or pointers.

    Yes it’s normal just press
    Yes it’s normal just press the pedals harder till everything hurts and you won’t notice the saddle.

    OK I’ll give all those a go

    OK I’ll give all those a go and since the weather looks far from good this weekend around here it may be a long turbo session again. 

    I blame TrainerRoad,  lol.

    To be honest I’m enjoying the training but the discomfort is taking my concentration away sometimes.

    1 hour turbo trainer = 2 hours out.

    When you cycling out, the bike and body aren’t stable, plays. In the trainer the bike is stable and your body plays and apply pressure with the movement.

    Try, out of saddle, every 10 -15 min, chamois creme, a position slightly back in your seat.
