All Mtn seat?

Lowtech · 2007-01-22T02:00:52+00:00

Hello group: Im looking for a new seat for my Giant Reign 1. I currently have a WTB Speed V. I really like it but I have had it for 6 years and now it pops and squeaks. I called WTB and they said it is best to just get a new seat and not put new rail in. So please post any ideas you have for a nice seat.

I like the men's seats by Terry. I have 2 diff ones, and love them
both. the Ti Race Liberator, and the Fly (I think?)

Yeah, but "Liberator" sounded better than "Fartaerator".

That's what I did when I broke my old WTB. The new one is very nice!

Why? And why are you no longer a squid? Did you get in trouble?

Take a look at the WTB Pure V and the Power V, too... they have a bit more
anti-abrasion bits for AM riding. Not that I would know since I haven't
ridden for fun in 6 months...

I decided that squid life (not the Navy type) was not for me. I took a
break from school to do an internship and when you can't find bike riders in
the urban jungle and when the money freely flows into the bank account, then
there's little impetus to continue riding. I'm done with the internship now
and back in school but I'm too busy with academics and leadership. Err, and
newsgroups. Oh, what to do?

I figured you were still riding but had received your Official Non-Squid
Certification.

A saddle that doesn't fit well can be very uncomfortable, and often you
don't know until you've ridden it awhile (and can't return it). If you
liked your WTB Speed V, get another. I've been happy with my WTB saddle.
