I have done about 150 miles on a charge spoon. I'm fairly happy with it, so I think it is the right shape for me.

I see that charge make a lighter version of the spoon, called the knife. Has anyone tried both? Are they equally comfortable?

    I've ridden both and didn't notice any difference in comfort.

    I have both. I can't seem to find any discernable difference in comfort. Both nice.

    If you like the spoon, better fork out for the knife then.

    So what's the difference, then? The knife is lighter, but that can't be all, right?

    What are they both like after a couple of hours? I'm considering giving one a go.

    Thanks guys. I'll give the spoon one more try, then go for the knife if I still like it.
