Hello!!

I have this bike, i love it but GOD DAMN that seat is uncomfortable, can anyone recommend me one?

Also would i need to buy a special type of seat so it fits this paticular bike or.. would anything fit?

Thanks

Saddles are a very personal thing and it is almost impossible to recommend one over another. As for getting one that fits, I think, generally speaking, most saddles will fit most seat clamps and have a fair bit of adjustment due to being mounted on rails. If you decide to change the seat post as well you will need to ensure it is the correct diameter for your frame. You really need to try some before you buy though. The Charge Spoon is generally well recommended and is only around £20 - £25. I use a Specialized Comp saddle and a San Marco Ponza Power saddle and both are very comfortablefor me but not necessarily for everyone.

This is a very common thread on here and as Crescent said, the Charge Spoon generally gets good reviews. There is a "Saddle Swap Shop" thread on this forum you could try.

The first question must be, are you wearing good quality cycling shorts with a pad?

Most saddles have 2 metal rails that connect to the seat post. This allows for forward/backward as well as tilting adjustment of the saddle. This is a standard fitting that has been used for many years.
