LACK OF HABITUATION
Sit bone pain is normal when starting the season or using a new saddle, as the body needs time to adapt. Typically, it takes about five to six rides for sit bones to adjust to a new bike saddle. To ease this transition, it's advisable to take at least two days off between initial rides, allowing irritated tissues to recover.

SHEAR FORCES
Sit bone pain stems from shearing forces on the periosteum caused by pedaling motion, rather than direct pressure. SQlab's active-technology and seat creams offer relief, but the best solution is their SQ-Pad 10 and 11, featuring a thin layer of orthopedic TPE gel. This specially developed medical-grade gel effectively absorbs shear forces, providing optimal comfort for cyclists.
