Anticlimb Posted November 22, 2013 Share Hi All . Next year will do my first Cape Epic . Been doing long rides and feeling pressure in the waterworks dept . Have been looking at the Selle Italia max slr gel flow . It has a nice gap in the middle section which will relieve pressure . Any other suggestions ?

flat29 Posted November 22, 2013 Share get a fit done to get the correct width, you can ride the best but if it is to narrow you wont enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig82 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Get measured first, its so important. Some stores let you test ride saddles.I would try the phenom or a Gobi. I can go all day on my Gobi without any pain. Check out this list, its helpful. SD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W@nted Posted November 22, 2013 Share I bought a new mtb. Went for my second ride yesterday and today my left foot and leg feels a bit numb...Might the saddle be the problem? I have been cycling for some years and have never experienced it. I currently have a Fizik tundra 2 saddle on. On my road bike I have a carbon rock hard saddle which feels more comfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skylark Posted November 22, 2013 Share Personal choice, what works for others may not for you...Phenom gel and Gobi kill me, probably good if you got lots of padding under your sitbones either naturally or with chamois or whatever they call those padded girly pants WTB Pure V race is the one for me, substantial plush padding for my skinny ass works really well.
