A not so short novel could be written about our butts (and surrounding areas) and a saddle. Maybe your "friend" had a comfortable saddle that has worn out or maybe he/she is putting in more miles and needs to look into using chamois creme or maybe he/she needs to get a bikefit or a new/better saddle is needed. So many more questions can be asked. Since no mention of saddle discomfort was mentioned maybe just need to replace the saddle with a new (same brand/version) or similar shaped saddle. May even want to look into new shorts or different chamois.
Not to say anything bad about the Cobb designed saddle --- your butt will let you know what it likes. It is made with dense/quality padding. The width of the Cobb V Flow is 130mm (about as narrow as saddles come) and is designed to be comfortable while riding in a aggressive aero position. Padding is nice but your butt will be happiest with a saddle that "fits" your butt and supports the sit bones.

He is riding on a regular saddle. Does anyone have experience ith the anatomical shape saddles and are they effective in reducing ressure? -- ou received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group. o post to this group, send an email to [email protected] o unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] -- ou received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group. o post to this group, send an email to [email protected] o unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] -- You received this message because you subscribed to the Gyro email group.
