Hi Guys

i am now 4 months post prostatectomy and looking to get back on my bike before the end of 2019

as I had nerve sparing I obviously want to protect that and am looking to buy a prostate friendly cycling seat

Any recommendations please

Thanks

Hi Stu,

I’ve just noticed your post. I’ve got a couple but can’t remember off the top of my head the makes and models. I’ll look them out tomorrow and post back. I’ve not had a prostatectomy as my PCa is advanced but they have certainly made thing more comfortable.

Hi,

This is the two I have: Fabric Line Shallow Elite. This one has a cutout groove down the centre. Then there is the Selle Itialia SLR Superflow. This has a full cutout so it’s basically just your sit bones on the saddle so there is no contact at all with the perinium area. Having said that I find the Fabric a bit more comfortable.

The links are just to show what the saddles look like not endorsements to buy. If there are no links when you receive this then I must have broken a rule.

Hope this is of some help. I am coping well thanks. I hope your operation was a complete success for now and in the future.

All the best

Dave
