was at dalby forest today and had real problems with my uncomfy saddle (the one that came on my bike) any recomendations for a cheapish saddle that will be ok on the mtb crosscountry bits like the red route at dalby.the charge spoon looks nice is it any good?

I love my Charge Spoon. Really confortable, a definite "fit and forget" item.Boardman Road Comp '08

The Spoon's good. It's also pretty cheap, and they resell for barely less than they cost so it's not a gamble- if you don't like it, it'll be easy to shift. I'm just about to get a Knife to try, they're stupidly cheap from Wiggle, but probably a bit less comfy. The Spoon doesn't look comfy at all but it's exactly the right shape for my bum, so it works perfectly- sometimes padded seats just collapse around you and actually make you more likely to chafe.
Having said that I seem to have a fairly tough bum, given the amount of chat on here about gel seats, padded shorts, chamois cream, special pants, anti monkey-butt powder, haemarroid cushions etc.Uncompromising extremist0 -
Northwind, let us know how you get on with the knife - I'm tempted to get one for my....ahem.....road bike to replace the standard boardman saddle. I would go for another spoon, but think it might look a bit unwieldy and large for a road bike.Boardman Road Comp '08

Spoon is good for me too - and fine for my winter bike. When it comes to saddles - comfort is paramount. You cant see the saddle anyway when you are riding.0

Will do, hopefully I'll have it and get it fitted before my wednesday ride.Uncompromising extremist0
