Hi all,

Just a quick question

I have a fixed seatpost on my road bike.
I 'm max'd out with the spacers on the seatpost clamp.

I have a Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow Saddle at the minute BUT,
The height of the saddle is a bit low.

Can anyone suggest a saddle with a good height on it

(Buttom of rails to top of seat)

Cheers

Shane

Height this way.......Road bike saddle

    there is/was an extra high clamp...

    if you don't already have this, it might be the solution, but where you can get one is another matter

    perhaps try contacting ridley to see if they can supply one direct

    If you fail to find a fatter saddle or the seatpost thingy, you could always look for some bib shorts with a thicker pad. My last DHB purchase had a significantly fatter pad than I was previously used to; I had to drop the saddle by a couple of mm

    Have a look at WTB saddles, Im pretty sure one of theirs is pretty high. Or Fizik?

    Another option would be to change your pedals and cleats. I think Shimano road SPD pedals and cleats are a fair bit taller than the MTB ones for example.

    You could also try moving your cleats further back on your shoes (be sure to mark where they are now just incase you dont like it)
