Hi

I am looking to change my saddle to something with a more padded nose.

I mainly ride for fun with friends durring the week and weekend and my saddle is ok for this. But when i attend the local tt (rd bike with clip ons) i do find it a little sore due to me sitting more forward.

I quite like the look of the Fizik Arione Tri2 saddle which looks ok for tt riding but i am not sure what it will be like for normal road riding.

Can anybody recomend a saddle thats great for both types of riding.

    there's quite a few 'tri' saddles out there just pic the one thats as close to your existing saddle taking note of the length, width and over shape. Otherwise it's the usual saddle thing of try it (or should that be tri it) and see!

    Can't help you choose a saddle, but if you do decide to go for the Tri 2, you might want to look at the Planet X website - they have a red & white manganese railed Tri 2 for £42, which I think is supposed to be pretty cheap.

    I actually use a carbon railed Arione Tri 2 on my Cervelo SLC road bike - the extra comfort on a very stiff frame is perfect and I love the set-up. Got an arione Tri on the TT bike and an Alinate on the Ti bike.
  • Thanks everyone for the replys, its good to know others use a tri saddle on there road bikes. I think i will just get one and see how i get on with it.
