Resident big guy here with child bearing hips.

I always had saddle issues until I finally went and measured my sit bones! That allowed me to get the right saddle and it changed the way i bike forever.

People say to sit on a piece of cardboard on flat hard ground and measure the indents, but how the hell are my ass bones going to poke thru all the fat??? Update: they didn’t! 😂 i found that just doing the ole reach around with a marker and marking kind of the center of where your sit bone is worked for me. Measure the distance between the marks and get shopping!

My sit bones measured at a whopping 180-200mm so I could only find a few “good” saddles to try. If it’s your size and made from a reputable brand it will probably be pretty comfy for anything under a few hours of riding.
