Got a new Specialized bike last week and purchased a different saddle at the shop. It fits my 57-year old sit bones fine, and has a longer nose than the stock saddle. But I’m getting quite a bit of pain in the perineum area after about 12-14 miles. Wondering if a saddle with a cut-out might help? Ordered some padded shorts—figured that might help, and watched Court‘s video review of the Kinect which some of you have mentioned on other threads, thinking that might help as well. Spend $500 on all 3? Hope I don;t need to do that right out of the gate. I don’t know that I need a Kinect, which might help my lumbar disc protrusions, but so far my lower back is fine (knock on wood). Pain seems to get worse after climbing hard. I’m wondering what some of you who might have/have had similar problems think. I know Specialized sells several saddles with perineum cutouts, as do others.
Perenium pain relief??
