• No..I have had an Aravis but was too wide for me....I have used Brooks but I didn't set it up properly and it didn't work out....This time, I have worked out the width of my sit bones...10.5cm....so the Soulor/Galibier would be more suitable.

    I only used the Aravis level ..not nose up.

  • Ah righto, was just going to say that I've found the GB saddles to come up a little narrower than their Brooks equivalents, the Soulor/Galibier is very much on the narrower side, hopefully it'll work out for you and perpetual bottom-bliss awaits :)

    Just crack on and experiment with positioning, tiny adjustments can make a big difference to feel on these saddles.

  • Currently, I have a SMP 20VTc Gel…which is 144mm wide and that is fine…it is quite good but just not totally right…in the past with leather saddles, I have gone much wider but narrower seems better. Moreover due to changes I have made to the cockpit…Nitto Technomic 225mm stem and a 38cm Nitto shallow bars…I can comfortably ride most of the time on the drops…so in a more aggressive riding position.

    All your advice has been very useful and very appreciated by myself….just waiting for a reply from @zephyr26 about his GB Galibier.
