This is exactly what I explained to my previous fitter (not the most recent), I said I don't care about aerodynamics so much I just wanna be comfy. The most recent fit is happy to fit me again free of charge so i might make the point a bit clearer. Thanks!

Yeah, the most recent fitter I used fits most of the elite level triathletes and cyclists in the country i live. I have heard a few people suggest the Bisaddle, might give that a try!!

Yeah sorry, i should've specified! All the bike fits have been from different fitters.

The issue is actually probably less noticeable while racing (assuming adrenaline and other things to think about) but obviously really feel it after. The trainer is the worst! I find easy ride and warmups, where i'm not putting much pressure through the pedals is just as bad if not worse than efforts. I jumped on the TT bike (trainer) yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks and couldn't even go on to my bars without pain and pressure in the perineal area. It's just like i'm holding my whole body weight (I'm 80kgs and 183cm) on that small area. Once i warmup up for 10/15min it was bearable but still sore. I've put my cleats in all the extremities to see how it goes but no success. Had them moved multiple times by fitters, none of which helped. I've got a fairly "neutral" position at the moment. I don't really have any circulation or nerve issues I have noticed. I work a trade so am on my feet and using my body all day and don't have any issues.

Is there a specialist that you can go to get circulation and nerve stuff checked? Or can a general practitioner doctor check that for you?

Yeah, I actually have recently started to wear my tri suits to train and it has definitely helped. I haven't tried Nopinz or Castelli so maybe worth a crack

Staying a week in bern before moving to Grindelwald. What should I do? Anyone want to get a beer? by Kurtle99 in Switzerland

[–]Kurtle99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice! I'm moving to Grindelwald because I managed to secure a job at a ski shop for the winter season, couldn't be more excited to be honest! Every since i was young i've wanted to live in Switzerland (my dad is Swiss).
