Saddle advice - Low Budget

rugnugdo

Guys, I have a Bontrager Race Lux Saddle currently on my Trek 4500 2010, but its so frickin hard! I would like a red or white saddle with a bit more comfort but don't want to spend much...


Can anyone recommend a slightly "kinda to my ass" saddle? pref Red or White

Do you use padded shorts ? if not, it's not a saddle issue.

I do use padded shorts.

I never thought my saddle was that bad until I sat on my mates who has a Bontrager SSR..... it was like sitting on a sofa!

Another vote for the Spoon. Winstanley's have them for £20.

+1 for Spoon, they're far more comfortable than they look, and at £20 they're a bargain. 8)

As the Spoon has already been mentioned, I'll add the Ragley Cheeky, although it's more expensive than the spoon.

Best thing with the spoon is you buy it, try it, and if you dont like it, you sell it on here and only need to take a £3-4 loss. Bargaintastic!

... or on fleabay and take a £3-4 profit...seriously, I was looking pre-abused before I realised I could get a new one cheaper!

bought the standard one first to guage comfort, found it so good I ordered the leather/titanium rail one as well for my other bike.

The Spoon is not for everyone! I could not put up with the pressure from the centre third of the saddle.
Spesh Romin seems hard but iin practice it's quite comfortable. For me it's what the Spoon should have been.
