Time Trial / Time Trialling / TT

It's almost like saddles were a sensitive topic for me...

interesting thanks

No, I got rid of my Sitero after a while.

SMP? I tried some of theirs. The newer, flatter ones look interesting.

those t models might work, I'll get one to try

Has anyone got a gpx for the E83/16?

Anyone got knowledge of other split nose saddles

Selle Italia have 3, Iron (I use one) Novus and Watt. Fizik Tritone might still be available, but seems to have been replaced by the very similar Transiro. I have a lightly used Tritone 5.5 you can have for £40

fizik one doesnt look right neither do selle.
the ism pn1.0/dash stage is a specific narrow shape

The reason I am asking is that I love the saddle shape, but ISM just go flexy after a few months and I've broken 2 dash stages

Tried a Fabric Tri? Can pick them up cheap. I currently run mine on road and TT.

Yeah, probably those. Can't remember the model but they look right. I've not tried those, only the droopy nose ones.

broken 2 dash stages

#skinnyisfat

looks like dash strike, which I haven't broken and isn't that comfortable on road bike.
I really like a narrow over the entire length saddle for some reason. The wider rear area doesn't work so well for me.
I have a strike on the mtb that I have done lots of KM on and it's fine. So seems just the stage I break.

Have you tried a Cobb saddle?

no, but all look a bit different

I've broken 2 dash stages

How did they break? I've fitted a Dash Strike to my Ultracycling bike, so don't really want it to break. I've got Dash Stage saddles on my TT bikes, one of which has done a couple of thousand kms without issue but I don't really want the Strike failing during an ultracycling event.

The strike is good. I have ridden one on the mtb and it's not broken - I have good confidence in it.
The stage is the one I have snapped twice - it went in the middle, not completely but clearly began to snap.

In the shell or the rails? Mine are both still OK, and I is deffers not skinny...

shell

Good to know, thanks. I'll keep an eye out for any cracks in mine.

You'll feel it if you push. Itll go pretty quick. I do find it weird I've done 2 and others none. There was a vid on youtube one someone else breaking one, so I'm not alone.

I'm getting rid of these if anyone on here is interested? Trip guardz med, gloves large. Both only used a couple of times so perfect condition
£10 gloves
£20 calf guards

No big surprise here but we (Westerley) have just been invited by London West to consider alternative dates for our open which was scheduled for the end of March.

It's a district rather than national CTT initiative at the moment but LW is taking the view that there won't be any events in March or April.

Anyone got a pump adapter for a disc wheel they’re not using anymore?
