Just fitted a Rido R2, hope it's as comfortable as they say it is cause it ain't pretty. Started doing weekly 40+ miles weekly rides again and getting some numbness from my flite titanium saddle as having to sit in the saddle more than before till I get fitter/lighter.
Update: Ridden about 5 miles on it so far, feels a bit like riding on the back of a Brooks saddle, all the weight goes on the sit-bones would not call it a comfortable saddle like others do, but no NNS with it. Provides a firm base to apply pedalling power. Would not recommend unless having problems with conventional saddles, don't think I'll be sticking with it for long.

22 Oct: Ditched the Rido already, have now fitted a WTB Comfort V Sport Saddle 2009, this design works very well for me, will try a more upmarket WTB when this wears out.
