Anyone have any experience with noseless spinbike saddles? Have tried all adjustments, added some foam...not sack friendly at all and need a solution.

Home unit, Schwinn spinner, bought it off the Okotoks hockey team. I did try padded shorts...noseless might be the way to go.

Don't ride a bicycle for more than an hour? I dunno. Sometimes the solutions just present themselves.

Can you change the saddle?
I had the same issue with my echelon bike. Bought a padded saddle cover & padded shorts from Amazon. Combo of the 2 did the trick, boys have been happy ever since.

As someone who cycles for 4-8 hours a day in the summer, there are many saddle shapes and designs and I found getting higher end ones actually helps the most over the cheapo saddles out there.

I like Specialized saddles and I generally change the angle to point the nose down quite a bit versus parallel to the floor.

Everyone going for the seat but missing the obvious solution.

How attached to your balls are you really? That Varys guy from GoT got his removed and he was still a baller, so to speak.

Ya gotta think outside the box sometimes. Or ball as it were.

It’s usually not the saddle but your position on the bike

I’m gonna support this too. You should look at getting a bike fit done asap to get your whole (hole?) positioning figured out. And stop wearing shorts 3 sizes too small cos that’ll also squish the boys - they gotta have some room to move.
