My Tips Is Buy New Saddle When You Buying Your Bike. So When You Buying Offline Bike MTB I Recommend Buy New Saddle And Must Be Fit Your Bump And Buy The Saddle Gel Cover For Extra Comfort
My tip #1 would be to avoid cushy saddles, tip #2 to keep your ass clean before the ride, tip #4 to keep your ass clean after the ride. Tip #4 - remove hair. Everything else is secondary.
I actually bought a bigger/wider saddle because everything went numb and became painful on the normal/standard smaller saddles and I don’t own a car so I have to ride to the place I want to go on the bike and now I can ride for hours with no pain whatsoever, that was definitely a big game changer for me, and the saddle still looks sporty but a bit bigger
Bingo . Dump that stupid 2x4 as a excuse for a seat .get a real one . That's the first thing I did . Who's brilliant idea was that? " Oh but it helps you go faster blah blah " yeah ? By making you want to end the pain in your azz as soon as possible ? 🙄
@@boracay12 The main benefit of having a narrower seat for a mountain biker is for people with larger thighs like me. If I want to move my weight back and get in more of an athletic position on descents, my legs get caught on the seat with the larger seats. It sucks because I'm a larger guy and I want a bigger seat
Honestly, I'm happy with the saddle that came with my bike. What usually happens when I get a new bike is that I have a sore arse for a week, and then I just get used to it and it stops being sore. Kind of like getting new shoes. I don't use any padded shorts or anything either. Maybe that's just me?
I hadn't been out on a bike for around 3/4 years a while back. Did a 45 minute ride and agony. Week or so later doing 2-6 hour rides on and off road and felt fine after every time.
Was using padded liners for ages but a few hot rides and the trench foot effect was too much; I was in some serious discomfort for weeks. Over lockdown I swapped to lycra boxers with no soggy sweaty pad ( underarmour coolgear ) and did lots of shorter rides, 30-60 mins letting my sit bones recover till riding again ( 2-3 days ) After 3 months I could easily ride 6 hours or more with no discomfort, did 8 hours xc on a hardtail with only a little ache. I've been off the bike since end of Aug last year and only just started club rides again, no real issue with 3-4 hours but yesterdays 6 hour slog has me a little tender today, time to harden up the sit bones again.
Saddle is totally personal... Over the years I've tried WTB (Pure, Rocket, Silverado) SDG (Duster and Bel Air) until I found the Ergon SMC... which for me is the perfect saddle even for my hardtail bike and 20 miles rides. Other things to consider is the right seatpost height to avoid pain. Finally, for hot Summer days I stop using chamois cream (Assos, Buttr) as it eventually dilutes with sweat and replaced it with Monkey Butt powder. No more sore and no more pain.
@@eSammye You want to avoid any that are too soft. The squishy bits of the saddle can bunch up and actually cause pressure sores and generally be unpleasant
Ergon.... My trail bike came with a very hard Ergon seat and it was just killing me. Switched to a different brand seat with a bit more cushion and now I can ride all day no problems!
Brooks C17 for me with a decent pair of padded shorts. Also not being overweight will probably make the biggest difference. Not wearing a heavy backpack, basically anything to reduce the downward pressure on the saddle.
I thought you moved the saddle forward or back to optimise the relationship between your hips and the pedals, and ‘Reach’ was set by your stem length (together with handlebar size and adjustment). Sella Italia C2 gel flow on all three bikes plus a couple of spares. When you find the one you love……..
When I first started mtb riding in 2012 every time I rode my butt hurt so bad even got a rash most of the time on long rides. When I switched to boxer briefs never had a problem. Then I switched to a Selle Smp seat and was a game changer. But just in the last year I switched again to the Selle Smp TRK seat in size large and I’m not a big guy 175 lbs and 5’8”. It’s an awesome seat for all day riding. There are always plenty of almost new ones listed on eBay for 60 dollars or under
Great video. I want to start riding again but I need a more comfortable saddle. My old saddle that came with the bike when I bought it years ago hurts too much.
Brooks B-17. Tricks for break-in from 40 years of using them. Purchase large can of Brooks Proofhide with the saddle. When you remove the saddle from box, immediately coat both sides heavily with Brooks Proofhide. Attach saddle to bike and immediately go for 10-20 miles ride. Body heat will make the dry leather absorb the Proofhide in 10 minutes. After that ride immediately coat the underside of the saddle again, just the underside. Day two, ride again as far as you want. Day three apply a light coat just to the underside. After two hundred miles you will see two small depressions where your sit bones rest. You are almost there to sublime comfort. After one month apply another very light coat underneath. 500 miles in, the saddle will fit you perfectly, like it was made for you. Happy trails!
I have never had a problem with my bum. I have been through dozens of saddles and dozens of settings on my saddle. The point is find what is right for you then you will have no problems atall. At the moment riding a Specialized avatar. Works for me.
I would not use the saddle fore-aft position to adjust reach, but rather use a different length stem. The fore-aft adjustment is for weight distribution (some would say KOPS but according to a lot of fitters that is wrong).
Get ur sit bones measured or estimated by online sites like wtb fit right, and get the right width saddle. Then try out different saddles with different shapes all around that width (flat, curved, rising tail, long nose, fat nose etc.) Note manufacturers claimed widths and actual widths can vary!
Put a Brooks B-17 on mine. Did not want my saddle to break in my butt, but the other way around. Few thousand miles later. I don't have to worry about trying other hip spreaders, cause this one fits like a nice worn in baseball glove.
I have just got a new bike ( well 2019 but new for me ) after not riding for a very long time. I grew up riding motorbikes and mtbs every weekend and never experienced any saddle pain ever ! My body is totally unconditioned it seems. I did three hours last weekend and have only just recovered , so 4 days. I used to have a dirt jumper and a trials bike so sitting down was never much of anything unless I was going from A to B. Halfway through watching this video I thought to my self about shifting where the rails sit on the post so that the sit bones are placed properly on the saddle. Here’s hoping !!
Do you guys have any videos for 26 inch road tires for a mountain bike? I don't go mountain biking so I want to ride locally but those mountain bike tires hurt on the road.
can i add a motorbike seat to my bike if i build it too like a triumph or kawasakki seat or maybe a honda seat and can i make my bike go quicker by adding more batterys or maybe more torque in engine or maybe get a sir ron or caofen electric dirt bike from asia
Natural Fit Venec that came with my Cube, the best saddle I've ever had. Not a hint of soreness after 30+ miles (and no need for padded shorts/unders). Guess I got lucky.
Keeping a good posture on the bike as Well, i notice when i get tired af i just collapse like a house of cards on the bike and sit like a sack of potatoes wich doesn’t help the arse at all
Doesn't work for me I'm afraid. 5-6 hours a week for 25 plus years, with good quality clean chamois and I still get pressure spots and saddle sores. I've tried loads of different saddles too. Just lucky I guess...
I got a pair of fox shorts with a butt pad and it’s literally saved my ass a few times, between long rides and bumpy trails with high saddles it’s held up I got myself a second pair of shorts mostly so I could get a second one lmao
Cheaper alternative to chamois cream. Go to your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to whip you up some diaper cream. My son is 8 now and we still get it from our pharmacist because it works so good on us in the summer when youve been biking or hiking too long and get raw down there.
The discomfort in the Gooch area during and after a ride is really killing my interest in cycling ,tried all sorts and still about an hour is all I can do and I then pay for it for days ,must just be my 59yr old prostate protesting 🤣😂🤣😂
I was typing the dinosaur riddle just as you said it! [first heard it in 1996 on DALMAC, so I am an actual dinosaur-rawr] I think road biking is worse for pain in the tender bits, but maybe that’s a seat issue, too. All I know is that the second day of a bike tour (70+ miles per day) is THE WORST.
Just getting used to your saddle is also part of it. Most don't realize all saddles will be uncomfortable at first. I have been able to get use to different saddles just by riding more. I have a Ergon saddle now and its an easy seat to break in your bum on. I don't use any sort of pads and never plan to.
I’m using SMP saddle which cost around sgd 95. It’s better than my regular saddle but the thing is if you ride for long hours you ass will still feel sore. Haha 😂
All legit tips and apply to any bike - even spin bikes! Quick way to test saddles for sit bone fit without mounting on a bike is set it on a hard flat chair and sit on it with enough weight to see if it is supporting sit bones or not. You will still want to try it on a bike while pedaling but you quickly rule out ones that for sure won't work.
A big thing for me is getting good quality padded shorts, had some cheaper ones in the past and they were awful.. My other thing is never wearing padded liner shorts, I find they don't keep the pad where they're meant to and cause more discomfort in the long run. I wear padded bib shorts (yes, lycra like a roadie) under my baggy shorts as they keep the pad in place far better!
Indeed! Made so much difference for me to get a pair of good ones from a bike shop ($100) instead of some cheap ones off Amazon ($30). Totally different.
While it might be embarassing or too graphic for youtube, i d like to suggest a video topic: what to do with your testicles when riding a bike. Ive often struggled to get my testicles in the right position when cycling so that i feel no disconfort. It s particularly difficult when you consider i change frequently between a comfort (upright) position and a speed position where i almost sit like on a time trial bicycle. Id love to see the topic handled by experienced cyclists and experienced mountain bikers.
My GF has been riding the same saddle for five years she Finds it very comfortable But my ex she still trying lots of different saddles she still hasn’t found one that fits that’s why she loves street riding so much lol
Thanks for the tips. The video felt a bit rushed tho. There were some doubles (like the cream joke that basically happened two times) and a few clips that didn't fit to the voice over. Still solid and you are propably aware of those things, just thought I'd mention it :)
Before anything else, I’d say make it a habit not to squat too squarely in the saddle, put your weight on the pedals, keep your bum hovering *over* the saddle. Spinal injuries await if you plant yourself too firmly in the saddle… 😬
Not gonna lie: chamois creme once saved my butt on a multi-day alps-cross. My butt got wet due to spray water and then I had to pedal another hour in which the contact points turned to... well a steak would be called 'rare' I guess. Next day, another 5h to ride I just drowned my rear in creme. It felt like I had shit my pants, but this combined with a repack every 1½h literally made it totally bearable.

My tip would be to have a level saddle. A saddle tipping down in the front that much would have me sliding towards the front of the saddle where it's not designed to be ridden and putting more weight on my hands, while always having to push myself backwards.
@@ThunderStruckMTB because of the shape of many saddles your "sitting platform" isn't always parallel to the overall seat shape, I think a lot of beginner riders have a little too much uptilt because of that
@@nk-dw2hm For sure. That's why they make levels! Saddles that have the rear end kick up (now called E bike specific lol) as well as saddles that have a dip in the middle can be harder to get right. I use the horizontal seam of my roll up garage door to help get my saddle level. And once I'm happy with it I take a picture of the bike with the saddle just below the door seam and I also measure the back of the saddle from the center of my bars at the stem so I can always get back to that baseline setup.
Didn't actually speak about the most important element, sit bone width v saddle width... and edit seemed to jump from bike size, to saddles, back to bike size then saddles again.... did the editing get screwed up and a chunk lost on the cutting room floor??!!
Every seat needs broken in .... like a pair of shoes before it becomes comfortable. Your ass and your seat need to come to an understanding and that usually takes a few rides.
*BIKE SEATS END ALL:* "Turbo saddles wr king. Hard seats better." Not so fast: Best cushion ever made was humans muscle. Dogs foot under thin elastic skin. High thread count tire carcass deform waaay better over road reduce vibration transmitted 2bike/gigantic energy lost. Knobby tires will average 8mph on a 30 miler fireroads over a mt.

The ergon saddle selector helped me a bunch here. Rocking te ergon comp ever since.
I don't understand why you deleted my comment on my favorite saddle ... anyway if you don't want to have sore ass, try sellOttO!
My tip #1 would be to avoid cushy saddles, tip #2 to keep your ass clean before the ride, tip #4 to keep your ass clean after the ride. Tip #4 - remove hair. Everything else is secondary.
@@alex_smallet removing hair is like sitting on a cactus for the next couple of days... 😄
I actually bought a bigger/wider saddle because everything went numb and became painful on the normal/standard smaller saddles and I don’t own a car so I have to ride to the place I want to go on the bike and now I can ride for hours with no pain whatsoever, that was definitely a big game changer for me, and the saddle still looks sporty but a bit bigger
Bingo . Dump that stupid 2x4 as a excuse for a seat .get a real one . That's the first thing I did . Who's brilliant idea was that? " Oh but it helps you go faster blah blah " yeah ? By making you want to end the pain in your azz as soon as possible ? 🙄
@@boracay12 The main benefit of having a narrower seat for a mountain biker is for people with larger thighs like me. If I want to move my weight back and get in more of an athletic position on descents, my legs get caught on the seat with the larger seats.
It sucks because I'm a larger guy and I want a bigger seat
Honestly, I'm happy with the saddle that came with my bike. What usually happens when I get a new bike is that I have a sore arse for a week, and then I just get used to it and it stops being sore. Kind of like getting new shoes.
I don't use any padded shorts or anything either. Maybe that's just me?
I hadn't been out on a bike for around 3/4 years a while back. Did a 45 minute ride and agony. Week or so later doing 2-6 hour rides on and off road and felt fine after every time.
Just keep riding and the pain goes away. You get used to it.
Was using padded liners for ages but a few hot rides and the trench foot effect was too much; I was in some serious discomfort for weeks.
Over lockdown I swapped to lycra boxers with no soggy sweaty pad ( underarmour coolgear ) and did lots of shorter rides, 30-60 mins letting my sit bones recover till riding again ( 2-3 days )
After 3 months I could easily ride 6 hours or more with no discomfort, did 8 hours xc on a hardtail with only a little ache.
I've been off the bike since end of Aug last year and only just started club rides again, no real issue with 3-4 hours but yesterdays 6 hour slog has me a little tender today, time to harden up the sit bones again.
Saddle is totally personal... Over the years I've tried WTB (Pure, Rocket, Silverado) SDG (Duster and Bel Air) until I found the Ergon SMC... which for me is the perfect saddle even for my hardtail bike and 20 miles rides. Other things to consider is the right seatpost height to avoid pain. Finally, for hot Summer days I stop using chamois cream (Assos, Buttr) as it eventually dilutes with sweat and replaced it with Monkey Butt powder. No more sore and no more pain.
What about saddles made of GEL or sponge? which are better?
@@eSammye for me the ergon gel saddle was a game changer
@@martincantwell2557 cool, thanks for the answer 💪🏻
@@eSammye You want to avoid any that are too soft. The squishy bits of the saddle can bunch up and actually cause pressure sores and generally be unpleasant
@@beardedmtb alright thanks
Best cure for sore ass - get you're ass out riding more!! 🔥
Just gonna be even more sore.
Ergon.... My trail bike came with a very hard Ergon seat and it was just killing me. Switched to a different brand seat with a bit more cushion and now I can ride all day no problems!
What type of seat did you get?
Wow I never actually thought I would use the saddle slide thing but now it does feel better!
Brooks C17 for me with a decent pair of padded shorts. Also not being overweight will probably make the biggest difference. Not wearing a heavy backpack, basically anything to reduce the downward pressure on the saddle.
Ah, you haven't mentioned the most important one: ride more.
Yes, but also, buy some padding undies for your arse! I rode 67 miles in one go last year & my arse was sore for a week and half.
I thought you moved the saddle forward or back to optimise the relationship between your hips and the pedals, and ‘Reach’ was set by your stem length (together with handlebar size and adjustment).

When I first started mtb riding in 2012 every time I rode my butt hurt so bad even got a rash most of the time on long rides. When I switched to boxer briefs never had a problem. Then I switched to a Selle Smp seat and was a game changer. But just in the last year I switched again to the Selle Smp TRK seat in size large and I’m not a big guy 175 lbs and 5’8”. It’s an awesome seat for all day riding. There are always plenty of almost new ones listed on eBay for 60 dollars or under
Very insightful video thanks rich.👍
Finally! This is seriously what I need
5:47 never seen hair sprouting from the top of a helmet.. the pink colour accentuates nicely as well.
Very helpful and great editing!
Keep up the good work🤘
Great video. I want to start riding again but I need a more comfortable saddle. My old saddle that came with the bike when I bought it years ago hurts too much.
Brooks B-17. Tricks for break-in from 40 years of using them. Purchase large can of Brooks Proofhide with the saddle. When you remove the saddle from box, immediately coat both sides heavily with Brooks Proofhide. Attach saddle to bike and immediately go for 10-20 miles ride. Body heat will make the dry leather absorb the Proofhide in 10 minutes. After that ride immediately coat the underside of the saddle again, just the underside. Day two, ride again as far as you want. Day three apply a light coat just to the underside. After two hundred miles you will see two small depressions where your sit bones rest. You are almost there to sublime comfort. After one month apply another very light coat underneath. 500 miles in, the saddle will fit you perfectly, like it was made for you. Happy trails!
I cant put Brooks on my Scott Scale carbon...It simply doesnt go....
I have never had a problem with my bum. I have been through dozens of saddles and dozens of settings on my saddle. The point is find what is right for you then you will have no problems atall. At the moment riding a Specialized avatar. Works for me.
I would not use the saddle fore-aft position to adjust reach, but rather use a different length stem. The fore-aft adjustment is for weight distribution (some would say KOPS but according to a lot of fitters that is wrong).
Get ur sit bones measured or estimated by online sites like wtb fit right, and get the right width saddle.
Then try out different saddles with different shapes all around that width (flat, curved, rising tail, long nose, fat nose etc.)
Note manufacturers claimed widths and actual widths can vary!
Good advice as ever. Any chance of similar videos covering things like arem numbness etc? Keep up the good work guys 👌
Stand as long as you can 👌
Riding xc of over 25 miles I start aching. I do think squats and hitting gym helps as your more toned.
Put a Brooks B-17 on mine. Did not want my saddle to break in my butt, but the other way around. Few thousand miles later. I don't have to worry about trying other hip spreaders, cause this one fits like a nice worn in baseball glove.
I have just got a new bike ( well 2019 but new for me ) after not riding for a very long time. I grew up riding motorbikes and mtbs every weekend and never experienced any saddle pain ever ! My body is totally unconditioned it seems. I did three hours last weekend and have only just recovered , so 4 days. I used to have a dirt jumper and a trials bike so sitting down was never much of anything unless I was going from A to B. Halfway through watching this video I thought to my self about shifting where the rails sit on the post so that the sit bones are placed properly on the saddle. Here’s hoping !!
Should link to doddys video on gmbn tech about sizing for them etc. His video was really helpful to me
please enlighten me on how i should measure my sit bone?
Least I know I'm not the only one who rests my hands like that on the handlebars when I'm on an easy ride.
If it's been a while, start small. A couple 30 minute rides will do a lot more than an hour ride that leaves you aching
Do you guys have any videos for 26 inch road tires for a mountain bike? I don't go mountain biking so I want to ride locally but those mountain bike tires hurt on the road.
And that is a useful video
can i add a motorbike seat to my bike if i build it too like a triumph or kawasakki seat or maybe a honda seat and can i make my bike go quicker by adding more batterys or maybe more torque in engine or maybe get a sir ron or caofen electric dirt bike from asia
SQ labs 60x ergowave active is a great saddle. Measure your sit bones
I recommend bonjela before and after
On a related topic, I wonder if you might cover cyclist's palsy? I recently developed it in one hand
Natural Fit Venec that came with my Cube, the best saddle I've ever had. Not a hint of soreness after 30+ miles (and no need for padded shorts/unders). Guess I got lucky.
You're definitely lucky, im a guy with wide hips and that seat was brutal on my ass, i now ride a wtb koda and thats much better for me personally.
@@Murkharto yeah I'm a bit of a beanpole 🤣
doctors said it's good for my heart, no one said my balls wil be swelling after 20 miles. lol?
Keeping a good posture on the bike as Well, i notice when i get tired af i just collapse like a house of cards on the bike and sit like a sack of potatoes wich doesn’t help the arse at all
most of the time its lack of riding and not the seat. You have to condition those muscles to be pain free.
Doesn't work for me I'm afraid. 5-6 hours a week for 25 plus years, with good quality clean chamois and I still get pressure spots and saddle sores. I've tried loads of different saddles too. Just lucky I guess...
I got a pair of fox shorts with a butt pad and it’s literally saved my ass a few times, between long rides and bumpy trails with high saddles it’s held up I got myself a second pair of shorts mostly so I could get a second one lmao
Cheaper alternative to chamois cream. Go to your local pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to whip you up some diaper cream. My son is 8 now and we still get it from our pharmacist because it works so good on us in the summer when youve been biking or hiking too long and get raw down there.
Oh aye! Rich starting with the dad jokes huh? Congratulations dude!
We all gotta start somewhere 😂
I like the wtb pure v
The discomfort in the Gooch area during and after a ride is really killing my interest in cycling ,tried all sorts and still about an hour is all I can do and I then pay for it for days ,must just be my 59yr old prostate protesting 🤣😂🤣😂
I was typing the dinosaur riddle just as you said it! [first heard it in 1996 on DALMAC, so I am an actual dinosaur-rawr]
I think road biking is worse for pain in the tender bits, but maybe that’s a seat issue, too. All I know is that the second day of a bike tour (70+ miles per day) is THE WORST.
Just getting used to your saddle is also part of it. Most don't realize all saddles will be uncomfortable at first. I have been able to get use to different saddles just by riding more. I have a Ergon saddle now and its an easy seat to break in your bum on. I don't use any sort of pads and never plan to.
After I bought my ergon sm pro I had huge regrets on the first couple of rides - but now it's sooo comfy
Feel like I saw this before on gmbn
The channel between the seat is great for farts. If your mate rides behind you he can smell it like you're in the car together! Amazing!
That joke at the end was really stupid but I really liked it lol 😂
I’m using SMP saddle which cost around sgd 95. It’s better than my regular saddle but the thing is if you ride for long hours you ass will still feel sore. Haha 😂
Thanks Rich...you want it cool mate...prevents smoke rings.....Peace
All legit tips and apply to any bike - even spin bikes!
Quick way to test saddles for sit bone fit without mounting on a bike is set it on a hard flat chair and sit on it with enough weight to see if it is supporting sit bones or not. You will still want to try it on a bike while pedaling but you quickly rule out ones that for sure won't work.
A big thing for me is getting good quality padded shorts, had some cheaper ones in the past and they were awful.. My other thing is never wearing padded liner shorts, I find they don't keep the pad where they're meant to and cause more discomfort in the long run. I wear padded bib shorts (yes, lycra like a roadie) under my baggy shorts as they keep the pad in place far better!
Indeed! Made so much difference for me to get a pair of good ones from a bike shop ($100) instead of some cheap ones off Amazon ($30). Totally different.
While it might be embarassing or too graphic for youtube, i d like to suggest a video topic: what to do with your testicles when riding a bike. Ive often struggled to get my testicles in the right position when cycling so that i feel no disconfort. It s particularly difficult when you consider i change frequently between a comfort (upright) position and a speed position where i almost sit like on a time trial bicycle. Id love to see the topic handled by experienced cyclists and experienced mountain bikers.
is there a vid for numb hands?
Ergon grips with the "wings" worked for me
My GF has been riding the same saddle for five years she Finds it very comfortable But my ex she still trying lots of different saddles she still hasn’t found one that fits that’s why she loves street riding so much lol
My local bike shop is 140 miles away.
This whole video was a setup for that hilarious joke at the end 😅!
i feel you
Thanks for the tips.
The video felt a bit rushed tho. There were some doubles (like the cream joke that basically happened two times) and a few clips that didn't fit to the voice over.
Still solid and you are propably aware of those things, just thought I'd mention it :)
Before anything else, I’d say make it a habit not to squat too squarely in the saddle, put your weight on the pedals, keep your bum hovering *over* the saddle. Spinal injuries await if you plant yourself too firmly in the saddle… 😬
Good tip! I have a habit of standing a lot as soon as the trail gets downhill. Gives me a chance to rest my butt.
I personally use a twenty year old trek comfort seat. No butt pad, no butt cream. Perfect.
Not gonna lie: chamois creme once saved my butt on a multi-day alps-cross. My butt got wet due to spray water and then I had to pedal another hour in which the contact points turned to... well a steak would be called 'rare' I guess.
Next day, another 5h to ride I just drowned my rear in creme. It felt like I had shit my pants, but this combined with a repack every 1½h literally made it totally bearable.
Worth noting that women's saddles can also have a cut out that's further forward...

Best tip I can give anyone is tip the front of you seat down about a cm, I went from being in agony to comfort instantly.
My tip would be to have a level saddle. A saddle tipping down in the front that much would have me sliding towards the front of the saddle where it's not designed to be ridden and putting more weight on my hands, while always having to push myself backwards.
@@ThunderStruckMTB because of the shape of many saddles your "sitting platform" isn't always parallel to the overall seat shape, I think a lot of beginner riders have a little too much uptilt because of that
@@nk-dw2hm For sure. That's why they make levels! Saddles that have the rear end kick up (now called E bike specific lol) as well as saddles that have a dip in the middle can be harder to get right. I use the horizontal seam of my roll up garage door to help get my saddle level. And once I'm happy with it I take a picture of the bike with the saddle just below the door seam and I also measure the back of the saddle from the center of my bars at the stem so I can always get back to that baseline setup.
The WTB Volt saddle is great. WTB makes a huge range of saddles with sizes and rail materials.
Burglars last night sorted this problem out for me.
Well now it’s a financial pain in the arse
Best way to avoid a sore ass? Singlespeed. Hard to get saddlesore when you barely sit down.

Didn't actually speak about the most important element, sit bone width v saddle width... and edit seemed to jump from bike size, to saddles, back to bike size then saddles again.... did the editing get screwed up and a chunk lost on the cutting room floor??!!

There is no cure all. Just ride more and you’ll get used to it.
Charge spoon has to be the most recommended on Facebook when people ask.
Absolutely. Lots of people seem to get on with the Spoon. There's also the ladies version, called the Ladle. Which is equally versatile.
Im too broke for any of these, so i just get used to the sore
I'm 6'7", 230 and it feels like I will never find the right setup. I just kinda put up with feeling bad while I ride. Rip, rear in pieces.
That's cute.
Damn ur tall bro im like 5'7 130 pounds and i use this ergo-soft cusion tech something from my local decathlon and works fine for me :D
Check out SQlabs - as a bigger rider, their approach worked much better for me
6'7" 245 here, fairly wide hips. I bought a Selle SMP recently and really like it.
It took me a long time to find the right saddle so I brought 3 just in case. Till I found the right one my butt was raw .
Sorry I'm not wearing the Baboon pants.

For my bmx/dj guys, stop tilting your seat so far back. I understand that it’s trendy, but it’s really not practical.

Every seat needs broken in .... like a pair of shoes before it becomes comfortable. Your ass and your seat need to come to an understanding and that usually takes a few rides.

Try a plastic or carbon flexi carcass saddle mirrors Brooks with silicone gel over thin hard foam topped with elastic polished thin shiny leather or vynil shade net.

"Do Brooks saddle get heavier in thrain?"
Ofcourse they do they a 3/16 " leather sponge. Even if u treat top, water gonna splash up from bottom soak yo a$$ &that sponge of a seat.
When i leave leather glove in rain = bad it begin digest th leather = tear easier.
Brooks state:
"No, Brooks saddles should not get heavier rain because they should not be ridden when wet. However, if Brooks saddle does get wet, it can be allowed to air dry naturally will be fine. Riding Brooks saddle during heavy showers or storing direct sunlight or heat for long periods can damage the leather.
Likewise, the material we use will not be affected by rain. Cambium saddles are also available in a carved version for riders who seek to reduce pressure on the perineum or desire a more flexible saddle."
Again put some silica gel over thin flexy durable plastic topped with 5mm glued on dense memory foam cover.
Use 2 - 3 layers durable material say 2mm uv stable vynil shade net u will have th overwhelming epicenter of all saddles.
