I think the reason I had hip pain with the bob marshall is that when I
sat in it I felt I was pitched a little forward with my legs back too
far. Thus a constant tension on my hips. I had a Trekker treeless
and i always felt perched forward in it also. Then I got the
Sensation and felt sorta perched forward also so I took the velcro
stirrup hanger and put it as far forward as it would go and voila, no
more problems. A wonderful relief in fact! I think all saddle makers
should consider some sort of adjustable stirrup hanger deal like this.
Others have them but it is complicated etc and with the velcro one
you can just quickly and easily re-adjust if it isnt just right. I
think I firgured out that the normal position for stirrups makes me
perched forward whereas a position that would cause a chair seat on
others is good for me. something to do with my personal build, very
short and big thighs maybe.
