• Ive switched from a very narrow Fujita seamless pista to kashimax 4gp on my track bike and been using an ariake jaguar on my commuter/trainer, each time I get on a bike using these saddles I feel alot of pain near my man bits, its flaring up lately even with santini chamois and cream. Ive been thinking of something with a cutout down the middle as a replacement, it needs to be narrow for thigh clearance and able to support a heavy guy.
    its getting to be a real annoyance and Im worried about damaging down there, been lookin at some selle italia flow models online, any other suggestions?

  • had the same problem over here on a rolls.

    I think its just a case of trying some out, we all have different shaped nether regions.

    oh and if you haven't already, get some of these they make helluva difference

  • colm have you tried a rolls on the track? find it very comfortable & supportive.

    For the road and trail i've got an adamo saddle on it's way, they are meant to be very good.

  • ISM adamo

  • fugly but very effective

  • do you use one MG? thought I was being clever got a cheap one through ebay, just got stung £20 by customs! I thought if the value was <100 they didn't bother you...

  • I started track in April and was getting numbness. Bought an smp. Could only afford the hybrid but sorted the problem right out! Very comfy with the bonus of nice position on the nose!

  • Im not sure about the Rolls, I had to fit a different today saddle and it helped a good bit, San Marco Laser so same era as Rolls, slighty different design.
    I ended up buying a Specialized Romin from my LBS, 60euro so not too bad. Not sure yet if its comfortable! Did 35km on it tonight, hard to find a sweet spot on it. The ariake jaguar was 130mm but the romin is 146mm wide, maybe I have to get use to the wider base.

  • Those SMP's remind me of a puppet from a kids show
