Road Specialized Tarmac SL7
Oriol Ferrer
“Four saddles bought on reviews. The right one took a measurement.”
The problem coming in
Saddle sores on anything over three hours, tried four saddles in two seasons.
What we changed
Measured sit-bone width and swapped to a 155mm saddle from the library, leveled it, dropped saddle height 4mm to stop the rocking.
| Metric | Before | After | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Saddle height | 731 | 727 | -4 |
| Saddle setback | 61 | 61 | 0 |
| Reach | 385 | 385 | 0 |
| Drop | 95 | 95 | 0 |
The outcome
Rode the Tour de Pologne Amateur in comfort on the fifth saddle he ever tried, and the first one that was measured.
