saddle nose pressure

Cause: This is predominantly a
problem for the female rider. Because the female pubic bone is positioned lower
than that of a male, the saddle nose is likely to cause pressure in that
area.

1. Solution: The step saddle
with a lowered seat nose reduces pressure evenly.
2. Solution: Tipping or
lowering the saddle nose on a regular seat would have the same effect but the
rider would likely slide forward or off.
3. Solution: A more upright position
will raise the pubic bone and reduce or eliminate the problem. Note: Be sure to
check your saddle width!
