Hi, just after some advice. I find my saddle comfortable but when I get off the bike I have 2 big red marks on the back of legs from just in front of my sit bones. Just wondered what could be causing this?
At the moment I have a specialised power saddle but I also get the same if I use my fabric scoop.
I think it might be how I sit or the saddle angle but not sure which way to change it and I am trying to get a fitting but no where local is doing them currently

Are you using cycling shorts. Can't say I've ever checked, but so long as your skin isn't sore, i would say it's normal for some colour change in skin having been sat in one place.

Saddle too wide or wrong shape
I was measured on the specialised and am using the 155. Off the top of my head the scoop shallow is about 140 so they are slightly different sizes.
Yes I use cycling shorts. The only issue is after 3days or more of constant riding it does become a bit uncomfortable and is almost bruised like.
Do you sit on the very rear of the saddle or more d sad long the middle?
