I have a Fizik Aliente but it made me a bit numb whereas my specialised avatar just hurts my sit bones. Suppose I could try the aliente again and see if i can get on with it, they get great reviews but dont have the pressure relieving groove in them. Defo going to get a full bike fit in the spring, i think my seat maybe too far back as i use a 80mm stem and the bike came with a 120mm one.

Theres a thread running on bike radar about saddles, might be worth a look at to get some more ideas

My Aliante has got the pressure relieving groove, I know some of the other Aliante models don't.

Here's mine (I've got 2), which is the Aliante Versus

So has my unknown Specialized

My Specialized Phenom also hurt my sit bones, as I don't have much padding in that area.

There is a saddle swap section on Bike Radar, saves buying if someone has got a saddle you want

I am registered, but normally I record my rides on my Garmin.

I am using my phone to GPS track my route, but as it doesn't allow me to add hrm data I don't use it.

Mav, strava will accept Garmin data if you want to use it.

Sent from my phone.
