I bought one recently...had myself fitted for it at the local bike shop...but it did not work for me. I ride drop bars and found that after just a few miles, the back of my inner thighs was pounding on the hard edge of the saddle with every pedal stroke. Moving the saddle front, back, tilting it did no good. After 3 days (and 90 miles)at a tandem rally I was in so much pain that I actually had my husband switch seats with me; I rode his Terry Fly the last 20 miles and he rode the Jett (which he found painful also in exactly the same place). Even though the padding and cutaways in the men's Fly was not in the right place for a girl, I found it more comfortable to ride the narrower seat. The Jett was just too wide in the back for me. For the record, I am an avid cyclist, rode almost 2000 miles last year, and am of normal body mass index so I am not overweight. I am currently searching for a narrower women's saddle.

I am brand new to bikes (other than the stuff I did as a kid) and have an '08 Avalanche 2.0 MTB. The seat that came with it is total torture to ride on (I'm assuming because it's tradionally a mens bike but the frame fit me better so the purchase was made). My question is will a road bike seat work for my MTB? If not, what would you suggest? Thank you!! I have a question more than a comment.
