Its for the Zwift setup and I think I need something with a little LESS saddle in the scrote area?

Anything cheapish out there, about 143 width?

I know there will be some p*** taking here but a couple of helpful replies would be great too. 😀

That's a brave post!

Probably won't fit your 'cheapish' specification but is it worth going to an LBS that does that saddle fitting thing? Think Trek dealers do it

Yeah I can just imagine telling them the requirements. Especially face to face, as it were.

Just for the sake of being graphic; Is it the sack itself that's the problem or just behind it?

What he means is: pics please.

This weird looking object would let it all hang loose

Have to admit, that made me laugh! 😀

I think I have too large, erm, a ball/s size.

Getting back on track and after doing some Youtubing I think I need to get my sit bones measured on some corrugated cardboard (apparently that's the DIY solution)and go from there. I think both my current saddles might be too narrow thinking about it.

A wider saddle and a cutout might be the way to go.

Hmmm...

Got to find some cardboard tomorrow!

EDIT: Yeah, sack size is an issue. Those bad boys do take up some room even after I had the snip. Too much info?

^^ I WANT THAT CHAIR!!

Even allows for one ball being a bit looser in sack position.

Genius!

(The length of the V cutout at the front might be a little optimistic for me though.)

Bonus point for clocking The Final Countdown ringtone.

A lot of female saddles focus on relief at the front, some of those might be worth a look.

So, completely unqualified to comment, then?

Well, after a lot of messing around trying to get my sit bone measurement (don't ask...) I am going to try the Specialized Toupe Sport and see how that feels. 155mm width so a fair bit wider than my current saddles. 🙂

A lot of Specialized dealers (Evans particularly) have their Assometer,which they use to measure you with,worth a go if there's one local to you,other suggestions would be ISM which have a BIG cutout.
