Hi all,
I recently purchased my first proper bike a Cube Cross Race. Everything is great bar the saddle which was killing me after a few minutes. I've made adjustments to the pitch but it got no better.
I popped into my Lbs in the week to see if another saddle would improve things, they lent me a fabric scoop to try. Today I went on my longest ride to date 70km. For the majority of the ride it was tolerable, not painful but I was always aware of it. By the end of the ride it was becoming very uncomfortable. My question for you guys is not what's the best saddle as I know it's subjective, but what's the best I can hope for? Is it realistic to expect comfort after 3 hours in the saddle?
Thanks in advance
EDIT. I should add that I enjoyed the ride immensely, so as not to come over too negatively.
