Great, easy, and ACCURATE method! I tried it. It took less than 60 seconds including the time to grab all the necessary "tools". I then asked my physio wife to measure my sit bones. I didn't tell her beforehand that I'd already measured up. She said "what bones?", and then "oh you mean your ischial tuberosity", and I was like, "yeah the icicle turbocities". Anyway, long story short, her measurement was exactly the same as what I got using the "sit on a wet piece of paper" method in this video. So, save yourself 5 years working up to a Masters in Physiotheraphy (or marrying someone who's dunnit), just sit on a wet piece of paper and you're sorted. Anyone who says it doesn't work clearly didn't even graduate from preschool, because I'd bet any preschooler could do this. They'd have great fun doing it too, although there would probably be paint involved. Because what kid doesn't want to make bum prints?
After watching I measured my sit bones. 110mm then changed old saddle for 138mm saddle. Pain gone after decades of pain. I was getting stabbing pains deep under the skin where my legs joined my body from have too wide a saddle. Oh the relief. Thanks
Too wide a saddle? Is that possible? I assumed the wider the better and this video was only to find the minimum width? Was thinking of buying a 250mm wide saddle. Should I not do that? It's an electric bike so I sit back and relax most of the time.
@@DannyTillotson Half a year late, but there are reasons why a saddle may be too wide. I think usually the issue is that the saddle is sort of a triangle shape and the sides push into the backs of your legs if the saddle is too wide. Also, the saddle may have sort of "bumps" where your sit bones are supposed to hit, and if the saddle is too wide, you may sit on the inside of those, the saddle pushing you "in". Your torso angle also figures into how wide a saddle you need. The more upright you sit, the wider the saddle should be (your sit bones are angled so they are closer together in the front). This may be a difference of 30 mm. Also, those extremely wide saddles (I would say over 180mm) often have a lot of padding. That is initially comfortable, but get worse the longer you ride because it puts pressure on soft tissue instead of just sit bones.
Hope all is well. We have same measurements. I been using Selle Italia SLR superflow saddle 143 L2. This is definitely to big. Gonna try a 130-138 ASAP.
The wet paper towel with a sheet of paper method was a great idea, it worked really well To make it even better, use a piece of color paper, when it becomes wet, the wet spots will become darker and gives enough contrast to see the markings clearly
Unlike others I could not get this method to work for me until I modified it. I used the basic principles but saturated the paper towel. I then used colored printer paper which made it much easier to see. I also sat on the paper for 30 seconds. Then turned the paper over and measured between the spots. I got back to back measurements exactly the same. Thanks to the author for the tip. I just had to modify it a bit to work for me.
WOW! What a good and SIMPLE explanation of how to do this. I am realizing that my saddle is not the right size, but no video is as complete as this one when it comes to not just measuring, but also SELECTING the right width saddle. Thank you!
Awesome simple to understand tutorial thank you, going to do this before I go looking for new saddles. Just got back into biking a year ago, and the Marketplace bike I picked up had a squishy fat seat I though was great at first. But now that I'm doing 30+ miles on these trips it is killing me, but the road bike I also got off Marketplace has a brutal hard shell racing seat and that's way more comfortable on long rides. Thank you for the video, gonna save my butt literally!
Had problems at first... However. Once I got the paper towel a bit more water, sat on top of a colored paper, and put an emphasis on sitting upright with a straight back and my legs lifted a bit it became super clear! Did two measurements and they came out identical. Many thanks!
Genius idea! I didn't have a stool, but the second step on the stairs worked perfectly. With three different measurements, the deviation was only 1.5 mm.
lean position affects sit bone width! while sitting down for measurement you should be leaning forward into your customary riding position. i use a piece of aluminum foil over a thick towel to get an impression
@@shawnalove5050 it's tricky, i had to dial in my technique with a few tries. under the foil there should be just a bit of springiness but not much, maybe from a bath towel, and you need to put down some pressure but not much, all while maintaining your riding position.. do it right and you'll see 2 very faint divots in the foil resembling the impressions of an egg, which you'll need a low-angled light source to see properly
Best measurement method I’ve seen as of yet. Kudos. My sitbones measure 125mm and my saddle is barely 130mm, that explains the pain I’m my right buttock :(
Thanks for the comment at 2:20 to 2:30. I have a 'correct' width saddle but it doesn't support past the nerves so I get a pinched nerve on one side or the other. Literally a pain in the butt.
I have tried a couple different saddles. I tried a thick gel padded saddle which was comfortable but looked stupid on my mountain bike, because it just looked too big and bulky. I tried a 100% carbon seat with no padding and that was like sitting on a rock, I returned it 2 days later. Then i went with a slightly padded 144mm Selle Italia saddle which was decent. Then i went with a Spank saddle which looked cool and was kind of comfy but still hurt on a long ride. Currently I am using a 155mm Union Sport Harz saddle which I'm getting used to, it's not as padded as the selle italia saddle or the spank saddle but is a bit more comfortable, but I still don't think that's the one for me. Hopefully I can get a better idea of what i should have after doing what you did in this video.
Thank you. I have been going crazy trying to find the right seat online. Unfortunately I must now sit upright due to spinal injuries and failed to save my road bike seats to measure them. No bike shops have that tool in my city.
my seat bones 110.mm.. so add 20mm so my seat needs to be 130mm... im using 145 mm ?? so the calculation is for minimum width. doesnt help what size saddle you need ...it just means get a saddle and if you like it use it ??
This works for me because I have some options to choose from. For me, saddle width should be minimum 130mm. But some people have 140mm+ sit bones width, and cycling on 130mm (narrow) saddle. So these measurements help them to choose wider saddle and avoid discomfort.
I have the same sitbone width. I have the 134mm saddle, but it's ok only for short performance/race rides. I have tried to do some endurance rides with it. About 2 hours ride and it makes a discomfort for me. For the comfort and longer rides, 145mm saddle works better for me.
Yes, if it's comfortable for you, you can leave it. But I can suggest trying the wider saddle. With the larger surface, you decrease overall pressure and get the more enjoyable ride as the result.
I have S1 Selle Italia Slr Superflow and now order to try L3, but they send me wrong S3, so I think to try it because of the open in the middle. It is also 2 mm wider 133 mm actualy
Altough the saddle appears to be 132 mm, it may not have much support at the outside edges, so you need that 20 mm addition. And we all move about a little, and cannot stay exactly central. roadman
I feel like the people having trouble are maybe bringing some extra padding of their own to the experiment: my butt bones don't just clearly mark the paper, they leave an indent in the chair. By the time I was 5 my mom couldn't hold me on her lap because when I wanted freedom I'd dig my butt bones into her leg hard enough to make her jump! Of course that would just end up with me sitting my bony arse on the wooden pew, which was not awesome... Anyways, if you're having trouble even finding your sit bones, maybe they're not the problem. Just saying.
if rim brakes, set the pads so they are about a millimeter closer to the rim at the front of the pad than at the back of the pad.. in english this kind of setting is called "toe"
Why not just buy a seat that offers you two sizes and which has an adjust by width feature. Why not just sit on your sit bones and ONLY them so you can ride comfortably and without pain. Stop all this science project nonsense and just go for a seat that already has you covered? Spongy Wonder
Thanks Dean. For very technical rides it is a bit of an issue in that the seat is wide and therefore hard to get behind. So I do recommend it for technical stuff everything else - great! Amazing coincidence as the following came in today: Yesterday I did my first “serious” ride a fairly big local event called the “K2M” you could look it up!. It was held on the local Tasman cycle trails and I just did the half marathon ride/race. I’d decided to give it my very best shot the terrain was up hills down and up again on and in with awesome views and on trail tracks so quite challenging in parts. So if you take a look at the results there I am coming in at 4th place (officially 3rd as one of the bikers in front of me was on an e bike!). I was super chuffed with my effort and your seat!. LOTS and Lots of interest in your seat design but people mostly just going how bizarrely interesting not quite ready for the SW step but I reckon it’s got a lot of locals thinking. It’s interesting how these serious cyclists take their gear and how they look so so seriously and their reluctance to try a seat like this seems to be around looking uncool. Well Jeff I wanted to say wholeheartedly I’m thrilled with progress the way your seat has got me back on the saddle and I’m loving learning more about the finer points of the SW and cycling. I think the necessary balance needed to be confident on the SW on more technical trail riding builds my core and in turn the strong core helps me feel more balanced and confident in my riding. I've not managed to get you any sales yet Jeff but my sense is people I know will start thinking more outside the square seeing me and my seat out and about..... and coming in at not too shabby times in the odd race here and there. I like to say I’m not competitive but I think I am realizing I might be. Hence I loved the event yesterday felt strong happy and LOVED the sense that the I knew I wouldn’t have any unpleasant bladder issues in the days following the race. Will I try the big sponges or stick with what I know?!! Hmmm. Warm regards and I hope business is booming. I’m almost wondering if I need to buy a few seats to keep in storage in case you decide to retire. Jennie Warr

Came for the method, stayed for the roast of your wife.
Oh thankyou that literally made me LOL - despite the poor state of my nether regions which led me here in the first place!
Hahaha - weren’t you tempted to make a bum print with paint??!!
This method gives a GREAT image of your *entire ass*, cheeks and all. NO imprint of your bones, just flesh.
After watching I measured my sit bones. 110mm then changed old saddle for 138mm saddle. Pain gone after decades of pain. I was getting stabbing pains deep under the skin where my legs joined my body from have too wide a saddle. Oh the relief. Thanks

Yea after 21 years . My saddle does not feel week on a 2 hour ride lol. This helps out tremendously
Super!, Thank you so much, great technique...yes, not as professional looking as Specialized, 😅 but same results. Wonderful 👍🏾

Brilliant thanks, much better then the cardboard and chalk method 👍🏼
Quick, easy and accurate method. Thank you! Hopefully I can now find a comfortable saddle.
Thanks man i can finally get a proper saddle size for my self.
I agree with some of the other comments. Best and mast simple method I have ever found. Thanks

We share the same measurements and experience with the 145. Have you switched to a 130? I'm curious how you made out. Thanks ✌️
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing this. Really helpful! :)
good simple method. thanks.
Great Video. Thanks for making, really helpful 👍
Thanks for great video on measuring sit bones
Thanks man, very helpful video
Good, easy tip!
Thanks! I now have the measurements, and a very wet arse
Thank you, very useful!
Good video. I will try this at home.
Why should you add an additional 20mm to your sit bone width?
It means 10mm from each side. For comfort, the saddle should be slightly wider than our sit bones.
Thank you for your informative video!
Wow.. This is very useful..
Thank you!
Well done; appreciate this.
Thanks good method
Simple easy to mesure your sit bones , use colour paper easier to see the presure points
wow best advice thnx
Thank you 👍
To the point. Thanks!
If you're supposed to add 20mm but it's more comfortable to add 35mm, then why does one need a precise width measurement in the first place?
What is the weight limit for the 29in?
Great video, thank you.
Thank you
Thank you! It worked!
Glad it helped!
I can’t fit in a4 size paper, I had to put 3 a4 papers side by side
My sitbone width is 110mm, should I get a 134mm wide saddle?
I have the same sitbone width. I have the 134mm saddle, but it's ok only for short performance/race rides. I have tried to do some endurance rides with it. About 2 hours ride and it makes a discomfort for me. For the comfort and longer rides, 145mm saddle works better for me.

Thanks so much!!!
I like very much make-shift method.
Thank god Internet!
I think my booty is too voluptuous for this method hahaha
thanks a lot bro
What's the deal with having to add 20mm to the width measurement?
Great video
My sitbones are 125 mm wide and the saddle is 132 mm. Is that ok ?
Yes, if it's comfortable for you, you can leave it. But I can suggest trying the wider saddle. With the larger surface, you decrease overall pressure and get the more enjoyable ride as the result.

Thanks a lot
Tried this method and failed misearably to get any print
See if your grandparents have any carbon paper in their stationary- it works really well for this.
Yes. This also might be a solution. Thank you.
Good video
Simples!
Thx
I feel like the people having trouble are maybe bringing some extra padding of their own to the experiment: my butt bones don't just clearly mark the paper, they leave an indent in the chair.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I used aluminum foil. The deepest indentation is where my sit bones are.
👍
Ha, so after measure you still just use whatever saddle width you like? So why measure?
Great video - please make stop brakes squealing screeching
Thank you. Alex
Take sand paper and sand the brake pads a bit. Then clean the rim surface with a solvent cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
if rim brakes, set the pads so they are about a millimeter closer to the rim at the front of the pad than at the back of the pad.. in english this kind of setting is called "toe"
But on a road bike you don’t sit almost upright sooo?? No dude
Was he wearing padded riding shorts? Looks like it but that would make no sense. Hmmmm.
А по русски есть чего ))?
What?
@@lamppshade09 He asked if you were single.
You never reply !!!!!!!!!!!!!
it doesn't work that good
try aluminum foil over a thick towel, on a low stool or coffee table, leaning forward into your typical riding position
My booty bones are 110 mm apart.

Yes you can buy whatever saddle you want and see whatever urologist you want later.
How does spongy wonder work on trail rides? Is it more for casual highway?
Thanks Dean. For very technical rides it is a bit of an issue in that the seat is wide and therefore hard to get behind. So I do recommend it for technical stuff everything else - great! Amazing coincidence as the following came in today:
Yesterday I did my first “serious” ride a fairly big local event called the “K2M” you could look it up!. It was held on the local Tasman cycle trails and I just did the half marathon ride/race. I’d decided to give it my very best shot the terrain was up hills down and up again on and in with awesome views and on trail tracks so quite challenging in parts. So if you take a look at the results there I am coming in at 4th place (officially 3rd as one of the bikers in front of me was on an e bike!). I was super chuffed with my effort and your seat!.
LOTS and Lots of interest in your seat design but people mostly just going how bizarrely interesting not quite ready for the SW step but I reckon it’s got a lot of locals thinking. It’s interesting how these serious cyclists take their gear and how they look so so seriously and their reluctance to try a seat like this seems to be around looking uncool.
Well Jeff I wanted to say wholeheartedly I’m thrilled with progress the way your seat has got me back on the saddle and I’m loving learning more about the finer points of the SW and cycling. I think the necessary balance needed to be confident on the SW on more technical trail riding builds my core and in turn the strong core helps me feel more balanced and confident in my riding.
I've not managed to get you any sales yet Jeff but my sense is people I know will start thinking more outside the square seeing me and my seat out and about..... and coming in at not too shabby times in the odd race here and there.
I like to say I’m not competitive but I think I am realizing I might be. Hence I loved the event yesterday felt strong happy and LOVED the sense that the I knew I wouldn’t have any unpleasant bladder issues in the days following the race.
Will I try the big sponges or stick with what I know?!! Hmmm.
Warm regards and I hope business is booming. I’m almost wondering if I need to buy a few seats to keep in storage in case you decide to retire.
