Odd place to find it, but it's here http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/voodoo-hoodoo-mountain-bike-2013-2014-10-off-with-possible-extra-13-off-449-99-halfords-1649983

Only real difference after having a scan is the coil Raidons instead of Air.

What do the seatpost and clamp not do for you? That way it's easier to recommend a replacement.

Charge spoon is a highly recommended saddle and cheap, however it's personal preference so hard to recommend one as it might not suit you.

I feel the seat post is slightly too high and it's as far as it goes down halfords said and just change clamp to a quick release one

Just cut a bit off.

If it won't go in any further it's probably hitting where a bottle cage bolt goes in, then firstly the bike if probably too big for you, secondly it can be fixed by cutting a bit off, clearly changing the clamp will have no effect.

cooldad

Except he wants a QR clamp, which is worthwhile.

The Rookie

Argh yes, misread that as being a Halfords suggestion!

Just to add, a saddles appearance can be deceptive.. My saddle looks quite harsh but is very comfy, upon seeing it my old man likened it to a razor blade.. But I can go all day on it.. On the flip side his spongey wider saddle with extra gel cushion for comfort absolutely cripples me after about 20 mins!

If you do some reading about saddles the general theme seems to be about saddles that suit /support your pelvis bones properly, more cushion does not equal comfier saddle, even for heavier people, you don't get fat between your winkle and your butt hole, so it's far more important it fits your pelvis rather than your weight.

If you've been out of the saddle for a long time it's normal to get a little discomfort after a long ride, but if the discomfort doesn't pass then look at new saddles.
