Saddle advice please

dunker

i found where all the clicking and creaking from my bike was coming from, my sdg bel air rl cro-mo (slightly loose rail). i put on the hard heavy ritchey one for now which is silent but not as comfy as the sdg. so i'm looking for a new one that's silent, comfy and light'ish and under £60 any suggestions please?

Saddles are personal thing, but some seem to get the thumbs up from many, one being the Gobi Wingflex.

dunker

thanks for the reply Supersonic i did look at the gobi but it does'nt look like it has that much padding? are there any thoughts on these?

wtb rocket v stealth / slt.
selle italia flite genuine gel.
selle italia slr xc gel flow.

such a shame the sdg is so noisy my rear was really getting along well with it.

Again saddles that many like. The wingflex uses flex in the hull to provide comfort, and it works well! Sometimes too much padding can cause excessive chafing.

The BIG GT

A vote for the WTB Pure V Stealth / STL which I imagine is a variation on the Rocket (narrower?) as it is the most comfortable seat over trails or distance that I've ever owned.

Saying that, I used a Gobi on a 30-mile off-road ride (demo ride) before and I did not even notice it!

WTB fan here!

As you can see with all the varying answers it's personal choice, do you know anyone with any of the saddles you're considering, maybe you could persuade them to let you try them.

Another Charge Spoon vote here!

It's the most comfortable saddle I've used, a little padding, a little flex, and just the right shape/size for me!!

Brooks? Or is it just me. Ive had a honey coloured brooks proffessional on my bike since 1989. Keep moving it from bike to bike, dont even know its there, fantastic saddle. Gets a knowing nod now and then too.

cheers guys just looking on crc and they're getting in a huge load of 2007 selle italias soon so i'll prolly go for the selle xc slr gel flow when they get them in.

dunker

i had a look at the charge spoon and really like the look of it but no-one has them in stock anywhere i've looked pah! wiggle say they're getting them in october i'd rather have the cheaper synthetic leather one £20 over the "posh" one £45 but can't find it, doh.

mtb.boy

Looks like I got my Charge Spoon just in time then. Sorry.

dunker

well at least i know what i want now will just have to wait a few months.

mtb.boy

The Ti railed one is still in black on Wiggle - But not in stock. But says 2-7 days. Which is quicker than October but twice the price.

dunker

yeah i know but aswell as being twice the price there's no reviews of it either and i think real leather needs more care than synthetic? and £25 is alot extra for just 15-20grams.

mtb.boy

Thats why I got the £21 one.
