No sleep zone...

I finally caved and bought a new seat for my tri-bike. The seat that was on the bike when I got it was nice. However, it was causing a lot of pain, numbness and sleepiness (if you have ever ridden a bike a long time you understand what I am getting at) in my "sit" area. I fought the good fight and did my best to adjust to it. Then, one day I decide enough was enough.

So, I went on an internet crusade to find a seat that worked. I read a good number of reviews and finally settled for the Adamo Iso - Century.

The Adamo saddle has the idea that what you don't need the front of your seat. Specifically, when you are riding in the areo position there is a lot of pressure put on your perineum. I believe the technical term for this pain is, "hurts like holy hell." So, you cut out the nose and you no longer have the pain.

The seats also have a cut out down the middle. They look funky, but I thought the idea seemed based in scientific science....the best kind. I threw the bad boy on my bike and voila, I have little pain numbness and/or "holy hell" pain. It takes a while to adjust and get used to, but once I got it right it was obvious why people like them. It also matches the color scheme of my bike.

Here are before and after pictures of the bike with the seat.
As you can see, the seat is really funky looking, but it is such an upgrade from the old one. I would suggest if you are having problems in the aero position you try it out.
