Hi

I am thinking about a new saddle, I have already upgraded to a spesh sonoma BG, but not really seeing or is that feeling any improvement, I dont want to spend silly money but I need more comfort for the 20 mile plus rides, I am quite a big guy so no ridiculas skinny suggestions please,

all advice greatly apprieciated

    Saddles can be a personal thing depending on the shape of your ar$e.
    Charge Spoon and SDG Bel-Airs are a popular choices, Merlin have some great deals on Bel-Airs at the moment.

    If you aren't already wearing padded short liners try some, they REALLY help.

    I love the Charge Spoon (and now Knife) as well but they're very dependant on the shape of your posterior, they're not "comfort" saddles so they're only comfy if they fit you well. Mine are both all-day comfy though, I don't wear padded shorts either but 20 miles + isn't an issue, i run out of leg before I run out of a**e ;)
