Agree with @James Bradbury's answer (best = most comfortable for you), but I think you're right in that wider saddles (especially leather ones) have a bit more "give" in them for long rides. However, leg chafing can be an issue if the saddle is too wide between your thighs (also depends on Q-factor of cranks/pedals). Also, tilting the saddle back a little (nose up) may help relieve arm strain on long rides. | |
