In the latest SQlab video "Find your fit", Stevie Schneider shows how to do it right: because the SQlab seat bone measurement is the most important tool for finding the right saddle to avoid problems and increase comfort.

SQlab was the first manufacturer of bicycle accessories to develop the saddle width system for measuring the sit bones and calculating the optimum saddle width. Today, it is no longer possible to choose a saddle without first measuring the sit bones.

Measure the sit bone distance free of charge

If a saddle is too narrow, it will pinch exactly where it shouldn't. The sit bone measurement ensures more comfort, less pressure and better efficiency. All SQlab saddle models are available in up to five different widths

This guarantees that the sit bones are in full contact with the saddle. This is the only way to relieve the sensitive perineal area in men and the usually lower pubic arch in women from a medical point of view.

The free SQlab seat bone measurement is still the most important tool to help customers find the right saddle, and at SQlab it is free of charge. You can either order a measurement kit online or visit an SQlab specialist retailer.

Often customers still have many unanswered questions, an unclear measurement or very specific problems - but this is not a problem. SQlab then recommends going to a specialist retailer, as they are all trained in ergonomics and can offer comprehensive measurements and advice. The SQlab dealer network is extensive throughout Germany and every customer should be able to find a suitable dealer near them.

New saddles need time, and this is often forgotten. The sit bones can become accustomed to pressure over time and the sensation of pain is reduced. At the start of the season or with an unfamiliar, new saddle shape, pain in the sit bones is normal. It often takes five or six rides to get used to it. You should take a break of at least two days between the first rides.
