Replacing Charge Spoon with Fabric saddle

antonyfromoz

Apologies if this has already been discussed (didn't find anything in my search) but has anyone replaced a charge spoon saddle with one of their new Fabric range and, if so, which one did you get and how do you like it? I have a white spoon on my old bike which is very comfortable but the colour will look terrible on my new bike (vain, I know...). I could replace it with another spoon but have been thinking of moving to a Fabric scoop instead. What i am not sure about is which of one is the closest to the spoon in its comfort and curvature - the flat, shallow or radius? I tend to ride often on the hoods but i like to be able to comfortably hold a position in the drops for a large percentage of the time too. I know that saddles are a personal thing but any insights will be appreciated.

I think the scoop radius is nearer the spoon.

I've ridden the radius and the shallow though and can't really tell the difference.

Would a grey Spoon go better? I might know somebody with one to sell...

Mind you, they are so cheap new I, er he, would struggle to cover the cost of postage...

I have a Charge Spoon on two bikes and a Scoop Shallow Elite on my best one. Only been on there 3 days. Can't tell the difference on comfort. i.e. it's great. Looks good. And I paid £25 in Snow and Rock *cyclesurgery

thank you for this - I thought that perhaps the shallow, being the middle of the range, would be the way to go but I wasn't sure. Now I only need to decide on steel or titanium rails...

BTW, how did you get that price? I can only see them for £39.99 everywhere.

It's an outlet store. They have all sorts of weird things but sometimes only 1 of them.

Aha - you grabbed a bargain there then!
