Tokyo Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 For more than 80km I suggest Brooks. Minimal friction compared to plastic saddles and the 'give' is over the entire saddle as apposed to a localised area with plastic saddles. That being said...Brooks are dog ugly and if you are too light you might not be able to break it in. I bought a Brooks for Christmas - been great so far. I cannot imagine my baby with a Brooks saddle sorry
Caerus Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Having just been through this, and taking delivery of my new saddle yesterday. Which may still not be right, only time will tell. It may just be a matter buy, try and see. If not sell it on the hub and then try again, Eventually you will find the right one.
mach7-7 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 My girlfriend is a hug fan of the Specialized ladies Jet saddle. It is white, has gel, is carbon re-inforced and has a titanium rail.. Best advice I can give you is to ask your local bike shop for some loan test saddles from Specialized and Fizik and go try them on the trail...
bikemonster Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Ignore all of the advice on this thread so far. It's all well meaning, but your saddle has to fit your ass. As I've posted on other threads, when it comes to saddles there are no general guidelines. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The only plus is that if you buy a saddle from CRC, and it's much cheaper than buying locally, you will be able to sell it on, and get your money back.

Ok so it is like asking another woman what underwear is the most comfortable.
Caerus Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Ok so it is like asking another woman what underwear is the most comfortable. Nice anology, but pretty much yes. Thinking nice thoughts after that, lol.
bikemonster Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Ok so it is like asking another woman what underwear is the most comfortable. Ermmm...I guess. This thread is in danger of being useless without pics.
AndreZA Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Ok so it is like asking another woman what underwear is the most comfortable. there we would actually like a demonstration.
I FLY Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 My wife has option 2 saddle on her bike and finds it comfortable. But there are 5 other saddles in the garage that she does not like. There is no such thing as one "size" fits all. Follow the "Try before you buy" advice.
Tokyo Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Ermmm...I guess. This thread is in danger of being useless without pics. I put up 3 pictures on the 1st page didn’t you see them?
bikemonster Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I suspect that this thread is about to erm, outstrip the religious threads of the last few days. Before being locked.
