What saddle are you racing on?

Posted on
  • I appear to have a sofa mounted on the top of my seatpost - in the shape of a Charge Spoon. Whilst comfortable, i am on the hunt for something less 'forgiving".
    So what are you lot using?

  • Prologo scratch TS

    Best saddle ever, but ridiculously expensive.

  • Fizik Arione, also best saddle ever.

  • Prologo scratch TS

    +1

    (all though only in black of course ;-)

  • Richard Sachs edition red leather titanium San Marco Regal.

  • Zoncolan!

  • Fizik Arione, also best saddle ever.

    Or used to be before everyone moved to the Prologos.

    Nearly all the team's bikes had the fiziks on when I first looked in the stores at Manchester

  • All my bikes sport Romins (not that I ride on a track):-

  • Do you race?

  • Nope, sorry. I just thought it was a relevant saddle.

  • edit - ignore, just seen this is track not road

  • i was riding a san marco aspide all carbon saddle for about 5 years on the track was fine untill you get to races over 30km

    am riding a fizik arione cx now which is pretty good and looks nicer then those silly regal things!

  • ^lies

  • My saddle's red

  • Have flites on all bikes now.

  • SLR Kit Carbonio Flow on all bikes

  • a 30 year old turbo.....saddles: possibly the least most important part of a track bike, spend your money on Creatine instead.

  • a 30 year old turbo.....saddles: possibly the least most important part of a track bike, spend your money on steroids instead.

    Doping thread >>>>>>>>>>

  • I've ridden a Kashimax today.
    I can't feel anything from the groin down.

  • a 30 year old turbo...

    Which was new last time Winston rode on the track.

  • Last year?

  • Was on a Turbo, then a Rolls, now an Arione and considering an SMP now....

  • Last year?

    TBH, if you only ride once a year then the saddle doesn't matter ;)

    Some of the endurance boys ride 3x 3 hour sessions/races per week, + a couple of roller/turbo sessions.

    Winston is being flippant, of course the saddle is unimportant if it's comfortable. But it'll sure as hell become a pretty important issue when you are on it for 12-14 hours a week and it's not comfortable. (whether it's an old turbo or a £150 worth of carbon)

    Ideally you would want the same saddles on your race and training bike(s).

  • Prologo scratch TS

    Best saddle ever, but ridiculously expensive.

    You're not kidding Rob, anywhere you can get them cheap? Would look good on the Dolan in black and if they're as good as everyone seems to suggest then a result.

  • Why did they have to make that Prologo saddle so ugly?
