banna Posted May 14, 2014 Share Hi guys, I need some advice in getting a better saddle to do Ironman next year. I have a normal road bike(Giant TCR) that I will be using. Did the 2013 IM with a Fizik Gobi, and although I luv the Gobi on my mtb, it wasn't as effective as a "tri" saddle, especially when you're sitting in the tri position using the tri bars. It got very uncomfortable during the second half of the bike leg. So please give me some ideas for saddles. Shotto.

shawnvan Posted May 14, 2014 Share ISM Adamo. Enough said. I use the "Road" version on both my road and TT bikes. Bubblez 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/139337-saddle-suggestions-for-tri-bike/#findComment-2298378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Waddell Posted May 14, 2014 Share Agreed. I love the Adamo. Used to get some numbness in the nether regions when using a Fizik Arione. Changed to the Adamo and will never look back. Got one on road and tri too. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/139337-saddle-suggestions-for-tri-bike/#findComment-2298386 Share on other sites More sharing options...
banna Posted May 14, 2014 Share Thx gents. Ja, the thing with the Gobi is that it has a very long nose, which doesn't work that well when in the tri position (..... as I discovered....... ).

SwissVan Posted May 14, 2014 Share ISM Adamo TT After many years of looking and tri'ing (gerrit?) different saddles I recently tri'd one if these and it's far better than any other saddle I've used before. It's so comfortable when in the TT position I'm thinking if fitting TT bars on my MTB...... banna 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/139337-saddle-suggestions-for-tri-bike/#findComment-2298418 Share on other sites More sharing options...

After tri'ing an Adamo I've come to the conclusion that normal saddles were designed by a pervert who was abused by a cyclist and the pointy saddle was his revenge.... banna 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/139337-saddle-suggestions-for-tri-bike/#findComment-2298424 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! Who stocks the ISM saddles down in Cape Town if I wanted to have a look? Haven't really seen them in the bike shops. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough...
