More girlie bits problems!
Hi folks
Bit of a sensitive issue here. Just started using a turbo trainer in the house now that the weather has turnt nasty. And I am experiencing problems with my 'girlie bits'. I find that after about 15 mins in the saddle I feel like I have broken glass down there. One night last week I pushed on and thought I'll get used to it and ended up with slight blood spots! Was not impressed. I have a big padded gel saddle on the bike and it seems to make no difference. Despite having tilted the saddle as far as I can (it doesn't seem to go up and down only along the bracket?) it still seems to point up in the air when the bike is on the trainer. I have another saddle on my moutain bike that at first hurt me but now is like a comfy armchair but at first hurt me too. Do you think this is a specific trainer problem ie it is the angle caused by the back wheel being raised? Or should I experiment with different saddles? Do you think that trying my other saddle is worth a try (I share my trainer and trainer bike with my hubby and he is already displeased at the girly seat). Just looking for any advice anyone has as I fear I am not going to use the trainer when it hurts so mcuh! DD |

The raised back wheel has changed your "angle of attack", and is now putting pressure on parts that are not used to cycling. Raise the front wheel by sticking a telephone directory under it, so that the bike is level.
Under no circumstance should you change your bike setup to compensate for a staitionary trainer.
