Shangri la Posted September 3, 2014 Share Quincy, sorry not hotties with warm hands.. they have a device that is made with memory padding, then once you get off they use a built in ruler to measure the distance your sit bones are apart.

Long Wheel Base Posted September 3, 2014 Share As said before by most of the guys a saddle is personal, just the same as some guys like blondes and some like brunettes. Looks like ill be the first here to say Im a selle fan. I Have 3 selle (road bike, 29er and tandem) and I also have a speciazlized on my 26er. My latest upgrade to my road bike is the selle SLR weighting in at 123.25 grams(similar to a bag of chips) The spez is a very nice saddle and as a few have said you can test them before.

Its a hard saddle, but I find it very comfy. It might not be fore everyone because of its hardness. I got mine for R1100 off CRC a few years ago. With specials and shopping around, I think you can still get it for under R1500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuzzie Posted September 3, 2014 Share Very interesting about the all the Spez saddle positive suggestions.I had major issues with my ass and after bike ft after bike fit and years of cycling with pain after 1.5 hrs in saddle I approached Jeroen Swart about it. In short he suggested Spez saddle and doing assometer. I did this and settled with spez phenom did Epic 4 weeks later twas perfect. have never looked back actually got one on my road bike too.

I like the red as it will go with my bike and its light. http://www.chainreac...e/rp-prod124831 Are you riding a wilier? Also check its wide/narrow enough for you. If possible find someone locally that has one and check it out before buying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, its for MTB, that's why I was wondering if it will work, its a bout the same as the Tandra 2 so size is ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Marco have always been a well known brand of saddle so I'm sure its decent quality. I personally have never ridden one. Price looks good. Good luck with the buy, I'm sure you'll come right.
