Selle SMP discussion

I could be interested in the forma; bit wary of the 0 padding. How is it?

If RecoveryRide doesn’t take this I’d like it please?

I’ve rode with non padded saddles for 3 years and won’t go back. I’m now using bare carbon. YMMV.

Could you PM me a couple of pics? Ta

Will do in the morning.

I’ll on them as well

Anyone got a Dynamic going spare? Not fussed about condition, just want to see if my butt likes it without dropping a bomb.

https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/363942/ if anyone is interested. Basically new and i never got on with it on my sit-up commuter so going back to my TRK.

I am trialling an SMP lite 209 on my Marin muirwoods which has bars very slightly higher than the saddle with some on one OG bars in a fairly upright position. I have the set back so that I am efficient with my pedalling i.e just behind KOPs saddle at clamp at 32mm on the rails using a 12mm offset post. I just dont know if im sitting on the right bit! When rotating my pelvis the rear raises part is against my bum. It is tilted to 3.3 degrees which seems quite nose down for my position.
Is this saddle okay for fairly upright riding? Or would I benefit from the plus or pro?

Does anyone have one of the full carbon knock-offs I could buy? Love my blaster but want to try the no padding situation.. :-)

What looks to be a genuine carbon railed composit going for really cheap here.

Anyone interested in a carbon rail composit?

Weighs in at under 175g so nice and light.

Maybe - how much are you after for it?

£100 posted?

Happy to discuss if that's a bit steep. I think I paid a bit over that when I bought it and it hasn't had much use since then.

edit: saddle sold

One in the link I posted above for £70 but yours might be in better condition

aye that ebay one has a fair chunk out of it - but maybe that's not £30 worth of damage.

Perhaps £90 (plus £5 postage) is a fairer reflection? Again, happy to discuss :)

edit: saddle sold

Yep and carbon ones could be more tricky to recover as you can’t remove the rails. Link was just there for the smp revampers who might be interested as it’s cheap for the base. Given a normal smp goes for ~£60 second hand I reckon £100 sounds fair tbh

Hi All - Anyone want to swap my Evolution for your Blaster? Blaster feels like home to me and I can't get used to the evolution!

Anyone got a composit knocking around?

Anyone after a Forma? Very worn so I'd like £40 or happily trade for a composit. sold

Anyone after a pro?

Anyone else experience perineal pain with an SMP even after adjusting the angle down/up a bit? It's a shame because for the first hour or two it feels amazing.

I did, when it was set up too high.

What alternatives are there to an smp? I like the shape of my vulkors but even slammed forward on an in-line post it’s too far back on one bike due to a 72 seat angle. Is there anything similar? I was on a romin before which was ok but not quite as good

Anyone got a forma I can try out for not too much £££??
