Quoted message said:Okay, I realize this is highly subjective, but can anyone suggest some
very comfortable saddles for a bike put together with comfort in mind
first and foremost? It's for general tooling around at moderate speeds
but will occasionally get used on long tours and charity rides, meaning
up to 10 hours in the saddle at a time. I tried the Brooks route many
years ago and didn't care for it. Currently running a Selle Royal
Avenue Gel on this bike. Has anyone had experience with the Tricosports
Ultralounge or other Tricosports gel saddles?
I ride the Selle Italia Flite Ti, AND a Capy Record carbon seatpost (bike
is aluminum frame.) It was real comfortable at the end of the season last
year, but my butt was hurting after a long ride last weekend! I rode over
2200 miles on it last year, and it would take some convincing to get me to
give it up.
The carbon seatpost really soaks up some of that high frequency road
vibration. I was very skeptic before I got it, but I'm convinced that it
helps on all-aluminum frames.
Brooks are very intriguing, but I'm not sure I'd have the patience to break
one in.
