Most cyclists think saddle discomfort is just a saddle problem, but the real issue is often your bike fit and saddle shape/width. We visit Selle Italia's HQ to use their idmatch system and speak with bike fit expert Matteo, who explains the common mistakes people make when sitting on the saddle. Watch as we use pressure mapping to reveal the easy fixes that can solve your saddle problems and help you ride without pain.
