  • So I took my kids out on the bullitt for the first time since my disc herniation, working on a more upright cycling position but I need a new saddle.

    I've got a Brooks swallow on there atm but I don't think it's going to work going forward. I've also been thinking of a suspension seatpost like the thudbuster but I've no clue if they're actually worth it or just a gimmick?

    Any advice very much welcome.

  • Thudbusters are great. A bit expensive but take some of the impact of bumps. I have one on my MBT after doing the SDW without and what a difference. They have elastomers according to your weight. I also have a broken pelvis at the moment and will be grateful to have a thudbuster on both my main bikes. There are other options out there, maybe even a dropper post? But I'm happy with mine.

    I don't mind paying for something that works but it's a lot of money to punt on a seatpost so good to hear from someone one that's happy with it, riding with a broken pelvis seems like a horrible thought though.

    @withered_preacher I've thought about it, I've always ridden on Brooks saddles but I've never tried the spring ones, I always assumed it'd be like cruising on a boat. Might try and pick up a cheap second hand one to see how it feels.

    @sohi cool, these are a lot cheaper than the thudbuster I'll have a look.
