Iwan Kemp Posted August 18, 2016 Share My big problem is that I move around on my saddle a lot when I climb for weight distribution.SO I am worrie about that short nose. Only way to know for sure is to give one a go. If you were of the enlightened WC types I would lent you mine to try. Isn't there a BG Fit close to you? They usually have a test saddle or two you could try before parting with your cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizkit031 Posted August 18, 2016 Share But again, make sure of the best saddle width for you ass first. I have checked mine before and my sit bone measurement says I should be on a 143mm saddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenReaper Posted August 18, 2016 Share My advice on the topic, I use to ride with one of those WTB Silverado's. Used it for about a year and a half and was great. Got a second bike and was looking for a different saddle, just to experiment. Tried out a few different options and the one I enjoyed most, most comfortable, even better than the WTB was a Sella Italia. Tried the Max Gel Flow and it was great, but a little pricey for me, settled for the cheaper version, the FLX Gel Flow, they go for around R600. This is the MaxThis is the FLX Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenReaper Posted August 18, 2016 Share For the record, I hate the Gobi, it starts hurting my tender bits within th the first few km's. Did a 50km ride with one and it took a week to recover. Like others have said, what works for me might not work for you. Sent from my S40 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Hare Posted August 18, 2016 Share I've just ordered this beauty from Tredz @ £17. Can't wait to get, recommendations and reviews have been rave. Wiggle have them in Black for £15. Shipping is pretty low, no duties and because it will drop below the R500 limit the VAT might not apply (don't quote me though!) http://www.tredz.co.uk/prodimg/65215_3_SuperSize.jpgnow why the 'uck did you need to post this? 'uck!! And then you went and posted the fricken website also! And 'ucking price! I don't need to see things like this, I don't have the willpower to stop the craving. 'Uck you Shaper, you bloody bastard! Thank you, I owe you one Update: And they don't ship automatically to RS of A. Maybe a good thing, give me change to find my equilibrium again and stop the madness. Update: OK, help me here. How do you get it here? Update: and the craving is gone. Sincere apologies for all the 'ucks. Edited August 19, 2016 by No Hare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwan Kemp Posted August 19, 2016 Share If it's options you want 1. The Charge (great saddle and great value for money)2. Selle Italia Flight3. Selle Italia SLR XC superflow4. SDG Bel Air5. Fabric offers a couple of cool ones and represent good value for money All of those are favourites-passed. KingTJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
