So, one of the n So they want to know what kind of saddle to get. Oftentimes, people want to get a saddle that just has a lot of gel, a lot of padding on it. That doesn't necessarily make it more comfortable for you on the bike. I mean, there are a lot of factors that go into how your bottom feels on a bike. Basically it has to do with the fit of the bike. If your bike is too big for you and you'reaching forward a lot, that's going to affect how your bottom feels on the bike. But to give you a couple of little heads up on how saddles work, this is your butt, this is your butt, on a saddle. And so basically when you're riding your bike, we want to get these sit bones on the wide part of the saddle. And then depending on how aggressively you're positioned on the bike, that's going to affect how wide your sit bones are when they're contacting the saddle. So we have, Specialized has four different size widths on saddles. And we can actually measure your sit bones using one of these, they call it the Asometer. And yeah, you just sit on it and then we're able to measure how wide your sit bones are and then we can choose the right size saddle based on your riding style and your sit bone width. If you get to set up with the right kind of saddle, you get you on the bike and you're going to be able to ride lots and lots of miles.
