SADDLES - width and sit bone measurement

Post by Grumpy-Grandad »

I went to a cycle shop this morning and had my 'sit bone' measurement done.

Now the question:

How do I know which size saddles are correct for me when shopping online as I can see no mention of 'sit bone' dimensions in any of the product descriptions?

Thanks

I'm surprised that the cycle shop did not discuss this with you.

Specialized have a sizing app https://www.specialized.com/us/en/saddle-sizing/app#/

I thought Bontrager has something similar, but doing a little googling, it wasn't easy to find.

This thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=108871 has discussion about what saddle width for sit bones' width.
