Ha Ha. Ekfeldt har avslöjat mig.
Som tjej - det här är mitt två cents värd! Vi cyklade långfärds genom öst europa sommaren 2004 (trevlig resa förresten!) . Jag hade en 'WTB She sadel'. Jag tror det går att köpa ifrån cykoteket i stockholm. Jag har haft sadeln sedan 2003 och än så länge går det bra. Tjej anpassade sadel borde har dem högra kanter på sidorna lite bredare isär än en herr sadel, för att våra sit benar är också lite bredare isär. Jag har kopierat lite info skrivit av en pro mtb cyklist i USA på engelska här nere:
Det är också viktigt att man har tjej anpassade cykel byxor. Tidigare har jag cyklat med herr byxor, men om byxorna inte passar perfekt bra kan tyget vika sig under känsliga delar ock klämma och...naja...det gör ont efter ett par timmar i sadeln. Men, med bra utrustning, har jag sällan haft några problemer - det gör säkert mer ont om man är kille!

there are many types of irritation associated with bicycle saddles:
1. chaffing
2. pinching
Chaffing is usually caused by too large a saddle- your parts are rubbing . Pinching, often occurs with chaffing as well, caused by too much bulk (eg. too loose bike pants) in the saddle, in the middle section of the saddle. Cut out saddles eliminate (virtually) the pinching. Finding a saddle that is not too bulky will help eliminate chaffing, and bike shorts with a nice pad will help with all problems. For a casual recreational mountain biker, i suggest the Terry Butterfly saddle - it's kind of wide, though. If you are a little more hard core and need a smaller saddle you can get behind more easily- Terry makes the Damsel Fly and the men's Dragon Fly (which is what i use). Preferably, your local bike shop would allow you to test different saddles on your bike. Also check the tilt of your saddle using a level- it should be perfectly level. check out the saddles at terry. i have personally been buying Terry saddles for the past 4 years. I am not sponsored by the company. I have used several other types of wmen's saddles, and find them not as comfy as the Terry saddles, please let me know if you would like more info (other saddles include the Serfas saddles and WTB). When i first sat on the Terry Butterfly, i automatically let out a big "ahhhh". it was so wonderful! If you are not currently using padded bike shorts, you should definitely buy a pair, this will help a lot, but the cut out ought to help immensly as well.
