Hello im owner of low grade hybrid bicycle on 700c tires with front
suspension and suspensed seat post. That hybrid is bit more like mtb
than road bike, gears brakes etc are mtb types. I am constantly
upgrading my bicycle, getting better components or ones that im
preffering, and for such a thing i decided to buy small aero bars called
Cinelli Spinacis. Using low grade stock saddle wich came with bike. I am
using bicycle mostly for two types or ride - either long distance road
rides(and im planning to go on touring ranges, ie lots of miles on fully
loaded bicycle, few days of non-stop riding) but also im going for
shorter ranges and those are mostly forest paths, dirty sand roads etc.
And of course often its both of those at once.
I got some problems with my current gel saddle - first of all when using
aeros groin areas might hurt in more agressive positions(flat handlebar
is bit lower than saddle and aeros are much lower - while using them
elbows are at height of handlebar). It doesnt happen all the time but
its surely occuring and i feel it. Then long distance rides (in normal
position) on synthetic gel saddle makes my butt hurts alot - and those
are sitting bones, i bet that its poor saddle design or maybe fact that
those ultra synthetic low-grade materials are nothing compared to old-
school leather(or maybe both or something else - no idea but saddle is
simply bad imo). And third thing are terrain rides - while i do it
pretty rarely sometimes some bumps occur and im forced to jump off
saddle just to sit back but in this case saddle is working very well.
Now sience i probably need new saddle(its not positioning, i tried
almost every position possible including situations when saddle front is
higher than back and reverse) i need some advice. There are many saddles
out of market and its easiest to say 'just go and try out' but tbh with
so big choice on market and fact that every manufacturer says that his
saddle is best im bit lost. By watching manufacturer offers and checking
internet archives/varions forums and reviews i decided to put few
saddles on my list althro im not really sure about any of those. Those
saddles are Brooks B17(fully natural leather recommended for long rides,
adjusts itself to use body but terrain rides and aeros use is pretty
discussable due to fact that nose is pretty hard), ISM Adamo
Road/Typhoon(recomended for aeros also could be good on long distance
but fact that saddle needs perfect positioning makes me feel dizzy about
bumps), Selle SMP Trk/Trk Extra(this one might work with aeros and on
bumps but not sure about long distances), Blackwell Flow/Mo Flow
(completly no idea on those, somoe told me about them but i couldnt find
any reviews/opinions). Really those are pre-test choices because there
might be many others wich might fit for me. Any
recommendations/opinions?
