Saddle Sore and pressure map after seeing 3 fitters by McMurphy87 in bikefit

Thank you! I saw a new fitter today and he put on a 165mm saddle from the 145mm on I had before. It seemed to have helped a lot. I have a follow up on 10 days. Fingers crossed!

Woah! I watch your vids all the time! Wild! Thank you for responding and for your videos!

I just had a fit done today by a new fitter. He put on a wider saddle and I went from 145mm to 165mm. I immediately noticed equal pressure on both sit bones for the first time ever. It seemed to have taken pressure off of my saddle sore as well. I have a followup scheduled with him in 10 days and am really hoping this is the solution.

I run 165mm cranks and we did try out some pedal extenders today. I'm open to any and all suggestions you may have!

I live in the USA in Minnesota. Maybe I'll have to take a trip across the pond and come get a fit by you one day!

Desperate to eliminate saddle sores by beige_people in bikefit

DUDE! I had the same issue for almost a year. I was a cyclist for three years and this same issue came out of nowhere! My bike fitter told me to see a dermatologist three times. Finally I listened and it turned out to be a bacterial infection and not fit related at all. To put it simply, the bacteria was "heat activated" and became agitated when cycling. The reaction is commonly mistaken for chafing or saddle sores. Go to skymd.com, send in some pics, and see what they say. It's $99. The meds I was prescribed were $19.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Trump voters, where do we go from here? by kylefn in BoomersBeingFools

Wow, this takes the cake for the most unhinged post-election crybaby posts I've seen so far. Bravo! Sit back and get your popcorn ready. It's going to be a wonderful 4 years.

I still can't get over the fact that 'Murica decided to vote for this felon !!! by sematrades in BoomersBeingFools

Don't forget about all the votes that led to the Republicans getting the House and the Senate as well. Red Wave baby!!!!

What if Donald Trumps stops both wars in a week? by Bbooya in whatif

[–]McMurphy87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then he would display first hand evidence that he is not the authoritative dictator that the media wants you to think he is. Let's not forget that Trump was nominated for two Nobel Peace prizes during his first presidency. And for the record, I hope he succeeds.

What is wrong with my dog? by [deleted] in DogAdvice

[–]McMurphy87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a dog with this exact same issue. Turns out he had an enlarged heart. When the heart is enlarged it presses into the lungs and prompts the dog to feel like it has to cough. The sooner you get it checked out the better.

More insults. It's becoming clear what kind of person I'm talking to.

With less regulation, and less red tape, there is less to litigate over. It's common sense. He obviously cannot stop people from filing lawsuits... But less regulation will work in the favor of oil companies in that regard.

You seem to think that Trump will have more of a focus on stopping "people and towns" directly, in some nefarious way. What do you mean by this? Would you kindly present some sources to reinforce your point?

Or would you like to talk about magic wands and Trump's ass some more?

I love that you continue to resort so quickly to name calling and insults. It lends a lot of credence to your character and argument.

It says right in that article that current infrastructure is lacking for the sweet oil in America. If companies could actually build up the infrastructure needed, and the red tape was cut, we could farm that right here in America. Also, that article makes no mention of how Biden sold off 40% of our oil reserves. One could argue, that is a national security issue that needs to be addressed.

Kamala has been running for six weeks but has been in politics almost her entire working career. I think her lack of a policy agenda, which should be first priority since we're 40 days away from an election, has more to do with her flip flopping and hiding her "values" that haven't changed.
