  • I recently got the Selle San Marco Aspide Superleggera for my road bike and found it very comfortable on a 6 hour ride. My sit bones felt a bit sore the next day though.

  • i think everyone should try post a photo of their pelvic rotation, them riding their bike, with comments on saddles.

  • ^ grooming

  • ^^^ I like everything about the Aspide except the width - it's just a bit narrow for me.

  • So, anyone know what an equivalent to a Romin 155 would be? Same swoopy shape, nice and wide but with more padding and similar (or bigger) cutout? Selle SMP the only option? I really hope not...

  • There are a couple of selle italia saddle I want to test (SLR Flow and SLS Kit Carbonio Flow) and am struggling to find anywhere that let's you test saddles that has them. Has anyone used the 30 day money back guarantee when buying from somewhere online like ribble/wiggle?

  • Saddles that look like camels >>>>>

  • http://www.ubyk.co.uk
    For that price i'd expect something custom moulded...

  • SLR titanium for me every time - can be had for 60 notes second hand and very durable .

    I saw that site but they look, um, I'm not giving them my credit card details put it that way.

  • That was my first impression too, but it seems to be legitimate.
    Just use paypal or call them first.

  • pretty sure they are a genuine shop, based in Oxford (with a bricks and mortar shop) iirc

  • Has anyone tried the new Brooks Cambium ? I know it's no weight weenie but it looks pretty nice and reviews read well.

  • A few people here have tried them. I found it generally very comfortable (if a little bouncy at times - I'm used to much stiffer saddles though), but I was getting some numbness on the turbo trainer so I've sold it on - I might try the version with the cutout.

  • First long ride on my adamo this weekend, it was very comfortable except I felt like I needed to piss for about 69% of the 4 hour ride, the other 40% was the time shortly after having relieved myself.

    Having spoken to another who owes the same saddle they experience the same thing, but hadn't related it to the saddle...

    Weird.

  • Strange. Guess it's the pressure, might wear-off once you get more time on it.

  • Using one of the new Arione saddles with a channel down the middle- I need to do some back to back testing, but will probably have a load of conventional Arione (2 X R1, 2 X R3) for sale shortly.

  • Channel/cutout FTW.
    Finally got the positioning correct for both my Romin Evo and my china-bay Romin Pro. Both feeling super comfortable now

  • I have a Fizik Arione R1, in black, that I've done 395.7 miles on- it's in perfect condition and looks like this:

    A new one would be available from Chainreaction for £209.99

    I've got an Arione VS coming, and if after a back-to-back test I decide that an en-channelled saddle is the way forward for me, then the R1 will be available for £100.

  • Hi all

    Ive got a problem !

    I have old seat Rail Clamps and they keep ripping holes in my pants :(

    The saddle im using is the BrickLane Bike one. Its shit. Does not seem to cover the seat rails.
