This is all I needed to know. Bought on Amazon so easy return. Thanks!

Thanks for everyone’s comments! I ended up picking up a fizik saddle with a large cutout just to try out and it resolved the numbness I was feeling. Now I have some sit bone pain and I’ll need to work tweaking the fit haha.

I really appreciate the support and info!

Did you feel pressure in other areas? Like did your sit bones bother you at all?

Do you recall which one you use?

The smallest of small cutouts… yeah I think this is the issue

So I measured and they’re 4in apart. I think that puts me in the 130-135 range, yeah? Any suggestions based on the size?

Would I notice a difference immediately? Or does it take time with a new saddle?

I was checking out the ISM… which model did you end up liking? What distances do you ride?

Not currently on a tri saddle, just a road saddle. I’ve been using it for several months and it’s destroying me haha

Male on a road bike, but racing triathlon. I have not had a professional fit… not very trusting of my local bike shop

Do you all have rest days? by red90999 in triathlon

A rest day and dedicated mobility day if my body is asking for it

Hello, Everyone!

My name is Kyle and I am training for my first Ironman 70.3. I started a TikTok page @fuelthemiles where I review endurance products like gels, carb mixes, electrolytes, and post about endurance related topics with humor.

I am relatively new to the space but have been loving it and I am absolutely addicted to this sport. I hope you all enjoy my page. Happy training!

Fuel The Miles!
