The expat cyclist Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 My wife's MTB needs a new saddle. Now every shop we go to, wants to sell something different - all claiming this will be perfect for her. So my wifes tunes the salesman today: "And how would you know this is perfect for me? You're not a woman, so how do you know?" So ladies, what saddles would you suggest to a fellow lady? And also what kind of riding/events do you do?
The expat cyclist Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 Selle Italia Maxflite Gel Flow... super comfy Thanks. Will check that out.
CAAD4 Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Get her to measure which one fits best on an assometer. That's what other ladies on the Hub recommended.
Dirt*girl™ Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) I've got the Fizik Ms Berlin, It's very light and the most comfortable saddle I've ever had! It's def worth a try...that is, if she likes the pictures! My link Edited June 29, 2011 by RodTi Fixed your link!

The Drongo Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 The assometer will only give you the width of the sitbone... What that thing dude! It is an ambush! Kinda like that "Does my bum look big in this?" question. CAUTION !
The Drongo Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I'm a guy and I want to ride with that saddle I love it!! Hmmm. Time to start asking yourself some tough questions there dude/ette.
kosmonooit Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Difficult to give advice if we cant see what the saddle has to fit!
Dirt*girl™ Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I'm a guy and I want to ride with that saddle I love it!! Thanks!! Been riding for many years...and this is by far my fav! Get one, You'll sure stand out of the crowd! Too bad the sale wasn't on when I got it! _http://www.cwcycles.co.za/product/fizik-vesta-miss-berlin-saddle-kium_
KnobbyMech Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 My wife tried a number saddles. She had a Selle Italia womens specific, but it never where perfect (your wife is welcome to borrow it to test, her also being a physio like my wife and all). She finally found a perfect saddle in the Specialized Ariel.
