Well after suffering back pain for a long time on a bike I think I almost have it licked.
The one problem I have now is in bum
I'm not sure if this can happen, but I'll ask anyway. The 2 sticky out bones in your bum that rest on the back of the seat, is it possible that if your seat is too narrow it can press on the inside of the bones, rather than the bones sitting on top comfortable, or perhaps even with the seat being too narrow, it's trying to push those 2 bones apart?
I've ridden narrow seats my whole life with no issues. But with my original back pain I swapped my spd's for flats (think my shoes were too narrow as I have very wide feet), and I dropped the seat an inch (high had been professionally fitted). It's stopped the pain in my back and now shifted to my bum
I'm wondering if I need a wider seat?
