Road cycling after penile implant
So I'm considering an implant and I spend a lot of time on my road bike. I really appreciate your post and I wanted to follow up to see if you have found the ISM saddle is still working for you with the implant? Thanks

The additional plumbing made the use of normal saddles - Brookes, Specialized - from uncomfortable to impossible. An ISM PN1.1 saddle has been just the thing for the road bike: many thousands of pain-free miles since getting it.
I imagine that whether it would be right for you may depend on how deep your tear is. The ISM takes all the pressure off everything from the scrotum forward. If the tear is in the area behind the scrotum and before the urethra reenters the body it may not be the answer.
Good luck!
