I am shopping arround for new saddle.

I know I must use a 143 mm size. Been to a couple of LBS's.  Why are they punting the new spesialized, ................is it that good or is it marketing.'

 

Looking for something simmilar but R1,300 is a bit to much.

I've tried a Gobi and I looked back! It sucked...for me.

 

Try WTB's Pure V OR SDG's Ti Fly or Bel Air. Good value for moneyl allround saddles. Don't let the "you need a 143mm saddle" blind you.

how dare you say you did not like a Fizik saddle? It's the be all an end all of saddles. Just look at the pros, most of them use them. Don't you know that it is all about image ang price these days.  Wink

 

For MTB I would recommend a Charge Spoon. You will have to import it but it will be around R400. Was the best saddle in WMTB last year.

my vote is for the Charge spoon as well. i had the Gobi on my anthem x for a week, and it was the worst experience ever. i put my spoon from my hardtail on and the problem was solved.

 

 

 

will get another spoon when i get rid of the gobi.

Am under impression sitting measurement (the 143mm) is important, otherwise you're sitting on your "tjommie"

 

This might have increase on stingel stress- ie bloodflow inhibited.

 

But I suppose this is another can of worms

I had the Gobi - did not work for me and then (fortuitously) it broke. Fizik replaced it and I asked for the Aliante instead... a bazillion times better for my butt! SDG's are great too
