So my knees track inwards quite a lot. I’ve done a lot of strength/mobility work, bike fits, and the like and have concluded that it’s just natural for me. It doesn’t hurt and has just been how I’ve always pedaled. The problem comes with my saddles. My legs rub against the nose of my saddle, wearin…

[image] evrevzbcm: Specialized power saddle I have this one…it’s a pretty decent saddle (have you had a saddle fitting) maybe you’re sitting too far back? I had a Fizik Aliante R1 and swapped it for the spez power…couldnt be happier.

I started using the Prologo Dimension 143 on my road bike a while back and really liked it. They expanded the line and came up with a thicker padded version, NDR, which I have since started using on my XC mountain bikes and will be putting on a new gravel build as well.

Try the new M5 instead - it’s got better padding on the transition inward. I’ve got both mounted, they’re almost the same shape, but the M5 is way better.

They look like they have a lot of padding. I usually prefer minimal padding, but maybe it’s still worth a shot.

The Pro Stealth actually has a really wide nose when compared to something like the Specialized Power. I’ve had the same problem as the OP and the Specialized Power Arc has fixed things for me. The Prologo Dimension mentioned earlier also has quite a narrow nose.
