Hello, I brought a raceface seat post today as the one on my Giant Brass 1 failed last night on me, When I attach my saddle to it the saddle bars seem wider then normal, has anyone seen this before, I guess ill need a new saddle as well?

What saddles are half decent for downhill/mud jump/trials ?

    everyone's arse is different so it's hard to recommend a saddle

    I hate the Bel Air & Fizik Gobi

    I love the WTB Rocket V & Charge Spoon

    try some of your riding mates saddles?

    Well things have got worse now, ive broken the mount trying to bodge it on so I could ride, what are the chances I can get a replacement clamp for the post?

    Race Face Evolve

    My giant one came undone last night as well and I lost the clamps, so I cant attach the seat !

    SO i brought the Evolve for just shy of £40 today and ive ruined one of the clamps due to being impatient!

    Here you go mate, the left part is meant to look like the right, a part has snapped off.

    charge spoon or a fizik gobi dependant on budget, both really comfy and reasonably light
