• I don't own a true power saddle but an ec90 knock off as well as a San Marco short fit. I generally ride them level but end up nose up due to slippage and the constant need to cinch down the seatpost bolts. I notice the metal rails to be less rigid then the carbon rails on the San Marco as well. They both have cut outs so my nuts feel well coupled but notice more fatigue from the carbon shell compared to the plastic shell with metal rails... Both work good

  • Thanks. Guess I need to fuck around with it a bit more, oh and actually ride it outside, to get some idea of if the saddle is going to stay or not. I've got an old SLR and a few Adamo saddles here but I thought I'd give the stock one a go first to see if I got on with the newer, shorter designs. So far, I think I prefer longer saddles as I tend to either be relatively upright for climbing or aero tuck and the weird angles and shortness don't help that.

  • It takes a bit to get used to I'll admit. It's nice having a longer more conventional saddle to travel back and forth on as well. I've been a fan of flite saddles for a while and have no plans off selling any of them in my collection. I too am trying to get used to a saddle I bought on impulse earlier this year but haven't found the right angle/set back for comfort.
