I was just wondering about this as on my 5 miles commute to work I find myself constantly shuffling around on the seat to try and comfortable?
Forwards and Backwards mostly but sometimes side to side?
Is it a sign of something or is it normal?
Sometimes I feel as though I cant really get any decent power through my legs onto the pedals?
I move slightly forward for climbing but mostly don't even notice it. I've tried quite a few saddles to find the one that finally fitted my arse. Before that I was constantly shuffling around trying to get comfortable.
It's possible you haven't found the correct saddle for your bum shape.
You have worms.
Only really move about when I loose feeling in my bits. Might move forward on a nasty climb.
Ive been using the same type of saddle for ages(Charge spoon)
This one that is on my commuter was on my Turner for a bit but even on that I moved around quite a bit ??
I do like Charge Spoons but I find that the padding packs down after longer term usage needing a new saddle. Maybe yours has just reached that point?
I had though that.
Its not that I get numb nuts or anything like that it just feels that I cant get comfortable for any longer than say a few minutes before feeling the need to move again?
This week Ive also suffered a bit of groin rub on one side to?
Sounds familiar. At least they are cheap, so still good value.
It could be the padding. I had a WTB that became very uncomfortable when giving it a bit of power. That turned out to be the breakdown of the foam. Noticeable difference after replacing with the same brand of saddle.
Cheers I will give my other one a go then, Ive only had it a month and done one ride on it !
