  • Thanks, you still running either of them? The composit is arriving tomorrow. I've got a 440k ride at the weekend with my house 180k in. I'm thinking of trying one for the first 180k and the other for the next 260k. Either that or just take both with me and put the spare in my bag.

  • I probably wouldn't advise this; as most people suggest that the comfort of an SMP comes from dialing in a pretty finicky saddle angle till you get the right support. Depends how long you have to fettle for the swap over I guess?

    I personally ride mine with the main section basically horizontal though, so more like a regular saddle with a full length cut-out. If you went like that it would probably be easier.

    Also, what surfaces/bike is it? Composit probably fine on road/tarmac but might prove uncomfortable over rough stuff where you're inevitably going to get jolted by things

  • Cheers @branwen it's a Bob Jackson Vigorelli with 25mm tyres used on the road.

    New plan! I've got work tomorrow, that's a 10 mile ride each way. I'll ride one saddle there and the other on the way back. Whatever feels best will come with me on the Audax. If it gets unbearable after 180k when I pass my house I'll pop in and swap them over, if not I guess I've found a saddle that's fine.
