Adamo Racing Saddle- first ride impressions

Ride #2: Length 1 hour on the trainer again (hey, I live in a city)

I am growing less enamoured with the saddle.  After about 30 minutes of steady riding, I did actually start going numb.  Never fully, but I was starting to lose some sensation.  But that wasn't the real problem.  After about 45 minutes my sit bones were killing me!  I mean freakin' KILLING me.  I've got almost 400 miles logged this month, and have been consistently riding for quite a while, so this should not be a "ride lots issue".  I'll give it a few more rides and search arround for other recommended positioning tips specific to the saddle, but if it doesn't improve soon I'll be going back to my Profile Design Tri-Stryke.

I'm still testing it indoors, but plan on enjoying this unseasonably warm weather by taking a couple long rides this weekend.

The sit bones discomfort may aleviate itself with use; just as with any new saddle, you will need to get used to the new positioning, according to Blackwell. They make it sound like previous extensive experience in the saddle won't necessarily cause you to overcome new discomfort initially when switching to the Adamo, because the new areas on your rear end that actually come into contact with the new saddle are in different spots than you're used to, so I guess the idea is to re-train your a$$ to sitting on slightly different areas.

I should have updated this thread a long time ago: 

I have roughly 1000 miles on it now.  I've done multiple 3, 4, 5+ hour rides on it, and 1 century +.  I rode it to a 12th place finish at Liberty to Liberty.  I'm riding it at IMCdA next week.  The only saddle I've used that doesn't numb the boys up.  And the a$$ pain goes away too.

'Nuff said?

Nope.  Just 5 or 6 rides until the pain was gone.  I have no problem sliding back and climbing either, and I'm one of those "stay seated and spin" guys- I very rarely stand.  It took some getting used to, but I'm glad I stuck it out.

I finally received mine in the mail and rode it for several longer rides.  My initial reaction is this saddle is a godsend.  I personally don't have a problem with the sit bones.  I also heard from others that the nose is a little wide.  Though it is wider that my stock cervelo seat, I still find it quite comfortable. 

Only problem I've found now is that it makes me ride slower because before, i'd try to ride faster to minimize the time on the bike because of the pain it caused me   Good thing though is, I'm enjoying my bike a lot for, meaning I'll put more time in the saddle. 

I would put in a good few hundred miles before even thinking about moving the noses in closer.  In my case I got used to the feeling pretty quickly and I'm glad I didn't make any modifications.

I can't say enough how much I love the Adamo hehe.
