Onza's 2.25 Canis R & Ibex F - seems skinny, will have to put it through its paces, and if it's too skinny, will get the 2.4 versions.

I bought a new top and the fabric is slightly more ventilated than what I'm use to. So now I'm worried that this

My old trek bicycle seat has pretty much past its sell by date...when i push my thumb in the middle of the seat it collapses right down to the rail...time to replace.

Amashova coming up in a couple weeks...thought it would be a good idea to replace the seat sooner than later.

Seems there are lots of good reviews about specialized...so off to concept cyclery in waterfall...got my butt bones measured 142 mm...i wanted a road bike specific seat...romin evo looked like a good choice at a reasonable price.

I was told i need a seat 155mm for my big butt....i see all the videos which show saddle selection indicate that you should add 25-30 mm...specialized must be different.

Fitted the saddle...eeeeish gona take a while to get use the hard saddle...the old seat felt like i had a pillow on the post

I started getting confused as to what the thing on a seat post was called so thank goodness for google and wikipedia...this should clear it up.... a saddle on a seat post or a seat on a seat post.


 


"A bicycle saddle, often called a seat,[1] is one of three contact points on an upright bicycle, the others being the pedals and the handlebars. The bicycle saddle has been known as such since the bicycle evolved from thedraisine, a forerunner of the bicycle.[2][3] It performs a similar role as a horse's saddle, not bearing all the weight of the rider as the other contact points also take some of the load.


A bicycle saddle is commonly attached to the seatpost and the height of the saddle can usually be adjusted by the seatpost telescoping in and out of the seat tube"

new summer seat

would have said saddle but that implies leather padding etc which this isn't :whistling:
