The WTB saddles are the only ones that work for me: the cutout down the
center and just the right width. I started out on a Rocket V, loved it on
both the MTB and road bike... tried the Shadow V, wasn't very good... too
"pointy." Then I threw a Speed V on the commuter, and it was nice and comfy
as expected, and lastly I put a Devo on the race bike... an excellent move
and very very comfortable even though it's flat and rather hard, but
supportive where it counts and unsupportive where it's supposed to be
unsupported.
