Brakepad Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Hi fellow Hubbers. Im doing some market research and i am in need of your opinions. Have you ever had pain / problems with your saddle ?please share your experience
BaGearA Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 My saddle is not bad but I'd like A power saddle ...if anyone is feelimg generous. Who has A wtb volt ? They seem quite good and come in A narrow version which is what I need
lechatnoir Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Technically, numbess is not pain... it's the absence of feeling. But for your purposes, it can be pain
SilverRider Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 My saddle is not bad but I'd like A power saddle ...if anyone is feelimg generous. Who has A wtb volt ? They seem quite good and come in A narrow version which is what I need I'm a big fan of WTB's saddles. I have a Volt and a couple of Silverados on my bikes. The volt is on the roadbike and I like it especially for the 100km + rides. I have a Silverado on the commuter and another on the duallie. I wont be buying anything else soon.
bertusras Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 I think my butt is like my blood group, universally accepted. I have three different saddles on my three bikes, and none of them give me issues. Well, there was some mild discomfort until I went for a bikefit, and now I have no issues. So my feeling is the majority of saddle issues are related to bikefit, and not having the correct width. Had this problem with the girl not so long ago, then paid for a fit, a less wide saddle and she's got no complaints since then. Go for a fit! Bageara, I have a WTB volt on my cross/gravel grinder and it's lovely. I had it on my first roadbike and it was so comfortable that I decided to move it over to the CX when I got my current road bike.

You probably have a tough butt, same as guys who get blisters on feet, trying various shoes to stop it, bottom line is rather make your feet tougher than try find shoes to stop blisters.A tough butt will handle most saddles fine

Long Wheel Base Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Can't do the poll as I don't get pain and the last question doesn't have a suitable response.Selle Italia SLR carbona. Love my Selle's. Have them on all my bikes. Have the SL on my tandems and MTBs and the SLR on my road bike.
InSearchofUP Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Just ordered two shimano pro stealth saddles(shimanos version of a power saddle) one for mtb and one for road, hopefully they do the job????

I have had 3 Selle's and I would rather drill a hole in a piece of wood and sit on that, that is how bad they are to me!

For me, the harder and flatter the saddle the better.

shaper Posted July 5, 2017 Posted July 5, 2017 Been riding a Charge Spoon saddle for a number of years.... even after 6hrs of riding is still comfy! Will not change it. My TT bike has an Adamo Podium, also very comfy.
