Wow, I had an epiphany last week!
I broke my leg in December, and haven't ridden my road bike in Indianapolis much since then. I've beein doing urban rides, and I've been riding the bike trails and the Monon, but all on my mountain bike. So, last week when I went out for a "spirited" road ride, I was sadly reminded that of the importance of bicycle fitting.
Frank Radaker is BGI's bike fit guru. He helped me dial in my bike for ergonomic comfort and performance last spring, and it was time well spent. But now I think I'll be in the market for a new saddle. I've always used the same saddle on my road bike as on my mountain bike, but after last week's ride I was really sore in my adductors. After talking to Frank, he suggested a narrower saddle, which would put less stress on my inner thighs. I've always loved my WTB Laser V saddle, but I think I'm going to get a narrower WTB Rocket V saddle for my road bike. This should keep me on a "familiar" saddle, but one that's properly suited to my riding postition.
