Flippa Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Just as an aside ... I always wonder when riders get/build a single speed rigid and then do everything to make it more 'comfortable'? I see comments about bigger volume tyres and them fancy schmancy curved bars that have some give, even forks that are more comfy .... Are these bikes not just 'inherently' hard and uncomfortable? Not all of us. I run 2.1 tyres on my rigid steel SS and my saddle of choice is a Selle Italia SLR XC Flow.

Chro Mo Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 Selle San Marco Rolls. Insanely comfortable. The Regal (or Belgian Armchair) is also amazing. I have 2 Rolls and 1 Brooks (a B17 Special), and they are all extremely comfortable. The Brooks took a while to break in, but is now awesome.
VeloErv Posted July 21, 2012 Posted July 21, 2012 I uses to be involved with Specialized and for long I believed that their BG saddles was everything... Found something just as good, and better in some cases; Fizik!They take saddle width and shape a bit further than Spaz with their "Spine Concept" I think, and in retrospect I think their "assometer" measures you in a different position to what you ride in (flexibility and bike position)
DR ◣◢ Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Went with a Selle Italia Shiver. Damn comfy. Spent a good 32km on it today with the SS and my but and back is not complaining at all. Andro 1
DR ◣◢ Posted July 22, 2012 Author Posted July 22, 2012 Now I know it was the right choice. Another bumpy ride today with very little discomfort. Bought another one today for the Fuji.
