• I recently swapped saddles on my paddy wagon from the piece of crap WTB saddle. I stuck on a charge saddle and it yielded a somewhat more comfortable ride, although it feels a bit too wide atm. May try a narrow B17. This is a difficult subject though as saddle comfort is so subjective...

    How about trying some 700c x 25's and letting some air out?

    You chaps have been on road bikes too long.

    My other bike, (dirt jumpy mtb thing) which I occassionally use for riding about aswell has 2.4 and 2.1 inch tyres on it.

    Mtb slick tyres tend to be 1.5 and they look fairly skinny and roll fast.

    I am sure you can get away with much fatter tyres than 25c basically,

    go for 35's even, as under inflating a narrower tyre will lead to problems.

    It will give you some give, even if the tyres are hard.

    Aside from that, id say just roll with it.

    Doing anything else would only bastardise your bike, you might aswell get an mtb if you want something more plush.
