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

Yeah I wanted to ask for pics, I just didn't have the balls.

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.
Is this the male equivalent of a flapjackie thread 😀

So, completely unqualified to comment, then?
Sackjacky?
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.
Smp are very good though ugly and not cheap
