Best saddle covers

ricgreen

Can anyone advise on Some decent saddle covers or saddle replacements to put onto my commuting flat bar Hybrid bike ?
As the saying might be said the saddles are like razor blades these days

Thanks

If you are talking about those so called 'gel' saddle covers or similar, in my experience (albeit from a long time ago), they are rubbish and can even make things work. There is no substitute to finding a saddle that suits you and wearing the right cycling kit be that bibs, tights or shorts (under something else if you must). As to finding the right saddle, ask ten people and you will get 10 different recommendations as everyone's ass is different. Find a decent LBS that either has trial saddles or runs a swap system.

Charge Spoon is a cheap saddle that a lot of people seem to get on with,

I might have just got unlucky but, although reasonably comfortable (but not outstandingly so), the Spoon that I bought was very hard on my bibs with noticeable wear after just a few rides. On the bright side, it sold on eBay for more than I paid for it In the first place.

Being polished by your butt adds value! Nice one, maybe you should diversify and polish other items and sell them?
