I have an S WORKS and have had a Toupe saddle, but it's not comfortable for me, after about 50 miles it becomes very uncomfortable. I know this is suppoed to be a superb saddle and probobly is, its just me.

Any ideas of other good saddle makes other than specialized?

Thanks
:wink:

    Tough question. If you get 50 responses you'll get 50 different answers. This gets asked
    constantly on this forum and eveyone swears by their saddle brand and model. This can turn into a lifelong quest or you could get lucky with the next one you buy. Make sure
    the one you have is fairly level with the ground. Some men like them tilted up at the nose just a bit(me included) but rarely tilted down. Use good shorts with a good pad in them.
    Try a seat with a cuttout center if you're going numb down there. sometimes the so called gel saddles work very well. Use a fair amount of butt balm and see how it goes.

    Velo pronto Z1 and Z2 (Z2 only available thru import from the states) worked for me. Z1 is cheap £20 but not as light as the Z2.

    See, they return, and bring us with them.
