Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Prologò CPC Tirox saddle comfort issues

I've always adapted to saddles well, and have been using the referenced for about 10,000 miles, but lately I've been feeling increasing discomfort. This isn't the most anatomically-punctilious way of describing it, but I feel soreness right where my upper rear quad mucles meet my, uh, butt cheeks. This hasn't become chaffing, but it is noticeable. I've not changed the position of this saddle. I wonder if anyone has any experience they could share, perhaps concerning this item's retaining its flex over time, its geometry or some other phenomenon.

Thanks
John

Everyone has different bits. No one else's experience with any specific saddle will be terribly relevant to your personal anatomy.

As for changes in feeling on the bike when the saddle hasn't changed, has anything else changed? Your fitness level? Position on the bike? Size of the wagon you're draggin'? The terrain you're riding?
