Saddle Fitting
In-store we have a range of demo saddles that you can hire for up to 30 days and ensure the saddle is right for you before committing to the saddle. This saves you from having to purchase different saddles and have to go through the hassle of trying to sell them if they aren't right for you.
Bike saddles shouldn’t feel like sitting on a knife edge. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming and expensive to find the right one. At Total Endurance, we’re here to simplify the process and help you find a saddle that makes every ride enjoyable.
Common Saddle Issues
Discomfort: Pain or soreness during or after a ride can be caused by the saddle’s shape, size, padding, or position.
Numbness or Tingling: Pressure on nerves and blood vessels can cause numbness or tingling in the genital area or buttocks, often due to a poorly fitting saddle.
Chafing: Friction between the skin and saddle can lead to painful sores or blisters, especially during long rides or in humid conditions.
Saddle Sores: Prolonged pressure and friction can cause infected bumps or boils that take weeks to heal.
Slipping or Sliding: A saddle that doesn’t stay in place can be uncomfortable and impact your performance.
What we use to help find you the perfect saddle.
Using Selle Italia's idmatch system and SQ Lab's measurement concepts, we can match you with the perfect saddle.
Numbness while cycling?
Numbness while cycling is an important warning sign that should not be ignored. This discomfort is often caused by sustained high pressure on the perineal area, resulting from a saddle that is too narrow, too soft, or otherwise unsuitable. When nerve pathways and blood flow in this area are disrupted, it commonly leads to numbness and occasionally pain. At Total Endurance Cycles, we are committed to solving this issue. We offer saddles specifically designed to optimize pressure distribution and enhance comfort, allowing cyclists to ride comfortably and free from concerns about numbness.
