Selle SMP discussion

Yeah. I need to try something else. The ism attack is comfy but when I do a few back to back days I get chaffing. And that means raw skin.
I'll pm you.

Mine has a composit decal, but looks deeper than the one in scoble's picture.

My fake carbon have the same shape as the Composit.

^ this.

Rail length... I'm not sure is the same.

First ride on the SMP Extra today, felt like heaven! Just a bit of a shame it's covered in naff design and looks so chunky.

Which raises the question of getting the saddles recovered - I know Bjorn got two done by the Ozzie chap, but is there a saddle recoverer in the UK that anyone has used?

Any links to a decent Chinese SMP?

LOL, as they say:

I just sat on it for the first time and the amount of squashing delivered to the Devils bagpipes was immense - not what I had expected!

Or hoped, come to that, I'm hoping it's an adjustment issue.

Repost(s).

Your experience so-far is as everyone else's.

I'm hoping I get to the Happy Finish which also seems to be the common experience.

After much adjustment, it's pointed out that you sat on a position you never sat on ever, so take a while to get used to.

I recall you had a fit done with Scherrit a while ago, he's the go to guy for SMP.

It's quiet a big commitment to get out to see him these days, especially given his schedule.

I'll play around with it.

@Dammit Read Steve hoggs set up guide.

The Smp are amazing saddles. It will work, just needs a little time and set up right.

Going to put the bike on the turbo this morning and adjust it.

In a different note the SMP Carbon is now on my list of stuff to never buy apart from a friend or a dealer, the market is super saturated with fakes

Get a digital spirit level out. And look at how Steve H measures.

What you can do it see where your sit bones are normally on your current saddle. Measure that from the bb, then put the Smp on and try get the middle of it in that area. Then adjust.

Spirit level, plumb line, measuring tape. Took me three attempts over three days to dial in the saddle position after changing from 175 to 172.5 cranks. Very very rewarding when you know it is right again.

Yeah, its a shame to see people bidding on auctions <£75 on ones that clearly cost >£20

Well, I have put it where I think it should go, if it doesn't rain tomorrow I shall discover if that is the correct place.

Just ordered an SMP Hell, really hoping it'll sort out my numb soft bits, while on the bike anyway..

Don't suppose anyone has an SMP hybrid or hell for sale at all?

SMP Extra will do as a first try.
