The sitting on a piece of paper on foam method gave me 13cm, so I thought a
B17 would work.
On the bike, I couldn't really tell which saddle felt right until I
switched to a set of Barlow Pass tires. Marathons transmitted so much road
noise, I couldn't tell the difference between crappy
yes, you gotta start somewhere. After 2 years on a Brooks B17S Imperial, my
daughter has developed a comfort issue. From examining the saddle, it
looks like she's sitting right on the back rail. So last night I sent
Debra an e-mail looking for a demo. While I had the saddle for a sit-bone
Dear Liesl,
The specialized ass-ometer (seriously) as described by others gives the
most repeatable results. You might even like their saddles (most stores
have a loaner program--take them up on it if interested).
I am comfortable (depending on context) on saddles ranging from 135mm to
170mm
Daniel D.,
Yes, that is maybe the simplest way to measure your sit bones (ischial
tuberosities, to be technical). I've measured mine before. I used
cardboard like Dave mentioned. I found some of the thicker cardboard, but
i had to really work to make obvious depressions. Maybe I have a little
The obvious question is this What does measuring one's sit bones
matter , as saddle fit/feel is strictly personal and isn't determined by
any arbitrary method . There are so many variables , from anatomical
differences in bone shape/width/structure to differences in personal
Try your LBS. some of them have a thermopedic memory foam type bench you can
sit on that leaves sit bone indents in the material for you to measure.

cardboard works too. Put cardboard on a bench, sit on bench while putting
your feet up on some kind of elevated surface and leaning slightly forward

Like Will says it gives you a starting point at least. Rather than just
throwing a dart totally in the dark.

I first sat on a pile of paper towels and took a measurement.It looked
close to 130.
I then found out that Specialized dealers had a tool to measure sit bones.
I went there and they politely measured me, no charge.I looked at some of
their saddles but didn't buy one.
The tool measured 130...it
My sit bone measurement was wide enough that it made Debbie w/ Rivet
Saddles laugh with concern, though it was in the range of their widest
saddle. I ended up preferring the Diablo, their narrowest saddle. Which is
to say I am baffled how to do this correctly other than to trying a saddle
out.
