Find your Sit Bone width to choose your ideal bike saddle 

When creating this video I tried to make the indentation as obvious as possible so I rocked a little from side to side and back to front. This made the indentation larger but some of the cardboard was only slightly compressed. The marks were made in the centre of the deepest compression. If you sit straight down and don't move, you wont have this problem

I think this is a good way of determining the proper SADDLE WIDTH suited for a rider...but by the end of the day, comfort is a matter of preference. Bought so many saddles in a span of 10 years...so far I am only able to buy one comfy saddle (years ago)and surprisingly it had a very thin cushion and was very cheap. I couldn't find the same saddle like it..forgot what brand it was but it was dirt cheap...totally regretted not buying 20 pcs 😂

This makes my choice for the right size saddle a whole lot easier than just buy one and hope it's comfortable, and now know how fairly simple it is rather than get a ruler and try to get a rough measure by touch/guess/mirror The method you've explained is a big help Mate Cheers for sharing 👍👍👍😎💨🏴‍☠️☮

BRILLIANT!! Very clever and doable is the cardboard idea. Before this demonstration, I have been trying to figure how to measure myself accurately on my own. Thanks.

This is so stupid simple can’t figure how I never thought of it. Thanks!

What this is missing is how to determine which saddle width to get which I thought was the whole point of the video. So you have the distance between your sits bones; now what? Do you add a few centimeters or do you try to get the saddle that's as close to your width as possible? That would be good to know.

best usable method in youtube

Very clear instructions and love the photo reference. Thank you!

Brilliant. Thanks for saving my grundle!

Спасибо, очень помогло. Теперь с выбором седла всё понятно.

Thank you very much! Nice and cheap idea!

Cheers dude, that helps a lot.

thank you so much sirr!

Brilliant!

thank you a lot! gonna starts in minutes

Would it not be better to sit on the card whilst bent over in a cycling position rather sitting straight up?

I am comfortable using of my fabric scoop race shallow ti, but due to usage for 5 yrs, it shows the wear and tear of the saddle however I am looking for a bit shorter nose for a saddle.

Oh wow that’s awesome!

Informative. I sat on a flat surface, measured, then ordered a new saddle. Hoping it suits now, also wish I saw this before I ordered 🙄

this is a good video, but at 1'45 the crosses dont look like they are in the center like the audio says?

Nice Tip... so hard to order a new saddle online and think will it be sent back? or will they take back a used saddle anyway?

How come the left side isnt marked in the approximate center

Plaster and plastic wrap impressions. Ishial tuberosity containment.

Awesome tip!!

Thank you for the video. I do have one question about the left side approximate center mark. How is that determined as the (visually) the mark does not look close to center?

Thx. Great tip. How shall I determine which shape of the saddle that fits me? I know it's comes down to flexibility but what is flexible and what is not. Is there any rule of thumb that I can test at home?

what are your thoughts on geometry and TT vs aggressive road vs relaxed road / gravel vs mtb? I have pretty different measurements on the memory foam doing this!

Thanks for this fren! Great idea! Sub'd.

You should have added to lean forward, lift the feet of the floor (as you pointed) and plant your hands on some surface in front of you to try to mimic the riding position because the upright sitting position is very far from the (road) riding position.

too bad bib shorts dont make widths and they cost more than saddles

01:01 I thought why the f*ck is he rubbing cardboard with a slice of white bread lol

This didn't work for me; the cardboard must've already been a bit compressed. The tinfoil method worked much better.

Another way is by putting your legs over your head, then measuring with a ruler.

even easier method...put some washable non toxic acrylic paint on some paper and sit on the paper. paint should be removed from the paper where your sit bones make contact

Wrong wrong wrong. You don’t sit on a bike saddle at that angle. When you sit on the saddle you rotate the pelvis and the contact points change.

Thanks for the reply which I will respond to in point form: 1. You are not omnipresent. How many races are there in a year? Every year everywhere. You go to every pro and amateur event do you? 2. I don't know about you but when I have a competitive secret I keep it. 3. Pride. There are a tonne of people who won't even try it because they are afraid. A local magistrate here bought one and returned it and actually confessed that the reason why was because his friends laughed at him. 4. Lack of good info. People who have never ridden it say that you can't control your bike. Where are the reports? How come after 42,000 sold 1 and 2 a t a time I haven't been sued out of existence? Everyone should be road pizza if all that silly talk about not being able to control your bike is true. Right? Secondly, many amateurs and EVERY pro is part of a sponsored team and that includes the saddle. You are already know this so SHAME on you for acting in such a dishonest fashion! Thirdly, they think the weight of 500 grams is just too much. You tell me then... we have two guys. Same bike, same build and ability of rider. One, because of his seat has pain and numbing and therefore anxiety. He has energy going into his 'present' trauma, pain and anxiety. A great physiological drain. The other guy has a saddle that adds 300 grams to his bike but he has no pain and/or numbing, he has no anxiety. He has no physiological drain dealing with these things. His mind is clear. You tell all of us here which one crosses the line first. 5. You and many others have never been on our site and read the testimonials. I had 85 pages worth on the old site which is indexed and you can send that link to you if you wish. For now here are some testimonials from our site on the question of competition: As a road bike racer I extensively researched for bicycle saddles that would ensure prostate relief. I selected the Spongy Wonder noseless bike seat based on the other racer testimonials. The SW noseless bike seat certainly lived up to the intended benefit of eliminating pressure on the prostate. Tom. P. Michigan Hi Jeff! With the Spongy Wonder noseless bike seat I won the overall single division of the Swamp Fox in Charleston SC. At SOAR in Highland NC 2008, I won age group over 50. Due to my success several of my friends have purchased. Your revolutionary prostate relief noseless bike seat did everything you said it would. Thank you, Gary Jackson First off, I’d like to say thanks. I was told your no nose bicycle seat wouldn’t work on long rides and that it wouldn’t be as stable around corners. Yet I continue to train on it for hours at a time without a complaint. I also plan to use your no nose bicycle seat in the Ironman Canada race in Penticton this summer. Thanks again for creating a much needed product! D. Eide Hi there, My parents got me your no nose bicycle seat as a birthday present and being an ex-mountain bike racer I looked at it with some disdain albeit with much curiosity. I cannot, will not, go back to the traditional style bicycle saddles again. This is an amazingly comfortable bike seat. Comfortably riding in Montreal, Michel I am a 50+ year old road racer/time trialer who has tried many bicycle saddles with no success. My typical symptom was numbness while time trialing or riding rollers. I received my first Spongy Wonder noseless bike seat in February 2007. BY FAR the best bike saddle I have ridden. The symptoms of numbness are gone. It is very comfortable during long rides. Due to the Spongy Wonder noseless bike seat I have continued road racing and time trialing. Markus Naegeli Hi Jeff, I am very happy with my spongy wonder noseless bike seat. Last summer I put 4,000 km on my bike included three mountain bike marathons. The first two were ~38 km with 1200 m of climbing and the last was 60 km with 1800 m of climbing. The last one took me 4h 25m to complete and about the only part of me that wasn’t sore was my rear! It is a performance oriented yet comfortable bike seat. Regards, Chuck McDermott. A Canadian in Vienna, Austria Is that enough for you?

Brilliant!!!
