Selle SMP discussion

I'm still buying one just to see how it is.

I'll dibs that if you dont get along or if you already have a composit?

Is there any consensus on which shape (Composit or Forma) suits different people? I think I need to admit I can't get on with my Cambium on longer rides.

I've found dynamic and stripped hell too narrow. composit best ever

im 181cm 74kg with I'd guess average body. I used to ride narrow slr's before being converted

Can't wait to buy one of those ass blasters

I have a white evo i won't be using if anyone is interested. No tears but n good cond. Color bit less white than new..

After 2000+ miles on a 143mm Romin,
I have one of these

on the way. Will give an update when it arrives.

looks like the classic carbon copy. It is firm but most people find it rather comfy. Not for hi pressure tyres or shitty road surfaces though.

Just been round the block with my new knock-off AliExpress saddle. Not as ugly as I feared. Comfort wise, a nice feeling of freedom in the undercarriage, but I'll need to do more than three miles to see how the sit bones get on.

Tyres at 45 PSI:

Anyone fancy trading your Dynamic for my excellent-condition Forma?

Arrived on Friday, via Royal Mail, but of course I was not at home during the day,
so had to cycle up to the local RM depot on Saturday morning.

Feels a little firmer on the seat/ischial bones than the Romin,
but no pressure, seemingly no contact along the perineum,
and none of the feeling of sliding down towards the handlebars
that results from slightly angling down the Romin to reduce any perineum pressure.

2 more ordered today.

Odd looking link changed thanks to the advisory from Sumo

Link doesn't work.

Someone remind me of the differences between the Extra and the TRK and Hybrid?

Currently using an Extra on my Day One, it's red though and I fancy picking up a black one for purely aesthetic reasons but not seeing TRKs and Hybrids all around the same price so wonder if I'd be better with one of them.

I mostly ride sans chamois and like I say, find the Extra pretty good.

Extra is "standard", TRK is massively wide. and I think Hybrid is similar to Extra.

Cheers.

Riding home from Wests on Thursday night,
the ToSeek did not feel quite so comfortable.

About 100 miles in, in total, and my legs felt that bit of discomfort normally sorted by raising the saddle a little.
Is the normal procedure for these saddles.
1) raise sadlle few millimetres
2) angle nose slightly more down?

Could be too high when you get that discomfort.

Nose down a tad can help also shift it forward a bit.

Thanks for the reply,
I'll try the remedies on a ride tomorrow.

Can anyone help me out? I've come across a full carbon on a local classifieds for cheaps. Wondering how to spot fakes. Cheers

You done it.

Does anyone want to do some swaps? Your composit for my dynamic. Earlier in the year I was thinking of selling but needed more time on the composit to be sure - Now I'm definitely sure as I tried a dynamic again after a long time without and feels too narrow for me. Due to building more bikes I actually need a couple more composit saddles!

I have the following:
2x Carbon rail Dynamics in perfect condition with boxes.
1x Standard Dynamic well used but no scuffs or damage etc.
1x Standard Dynamic fairly beat up.

It'll be fake.

Hey Ed. Don't have a composit to swap but if you're interested in selling either of the standard dynamics I'm looking to buy one atm. Would want photos though.

I ordered one of these. It doesen't suit me, I think its more like a Dynamic than Composit. Anyone want for a tenner?
