Noseless saddle?

[Alex M]

Please don't throw stones yet. Yeah, I know, - people rode 100,000 miles and never used noseless, never felt like they needed one, etc etc.
I'm not a roadie or a hardcore off-roader. Got back in saddle after decades, now in my 60s. Relaxed upright cruising, paved and hard-packed dirt, no speedy 90-degree turns to need the "nose" between my legs as an extra steering part.

My current saddle is "nosy" 10*10" Cloud 9, somewhat cushy. Cheap suspension post. After 30-35 minutes my rear end gets restless. Tilt is correct, if I tilt it lower - I slide down from the wider back end of saddle, if I tilt it higher - the nose becomes uncomfortably close at my manly bits, not annoying but more than I would like.

Either I need a bigger or more flat saddle with bigger and less pronounced "buns" in the rear that I seem to slide off now, - there is "nosy" 13" wide Schwinn on Amazon. Or a noseless (again - soft and wide). Poor suspension post doesn't feel like a problem, roads are relatively smooth and my speeds are slow.

There is a reason why the bones in our hips are called "sit bones"; they are designed by nature to take on the load/weight of a person for extended periods of time.
The bone structure is different from any other bone.
If you can provide the right kind of support for those bones, you will be able ride for 10hrs non-stop.

I recommend you splurge a bit more and try few variants of the Brooks saddle. Once broken-in they are the best support your "sit bones" can receive.

I agree with Ravi....a Brooks saddle maybe a B67? They are spendy but they are a lifetime investment. I currently have one in my Amazon cart as backup if the saddle I recently purchased decides to hurt my backside. I bought a Selle Royale Respiro Moderate $40. I really like it so far which is why I haven't pulled the trigger on the Brooks. I doubt a noseless saddle will solve your problems but if you try it and it does. Let me know. Always curious what works for people.

I have a Terry Women’s touring saddle, and it’s not working that well for me. I think my position is more forward than I originally thought. Selle Royale Women’s saddles worked really well for me when I was younger. I may go back.
