  1. Has anybody tried this saddle?
    I have been using Turbomatic 3 Gel for years but they are worn out.
    I have a new Turbomatic 4 Gel but now I am constantly getting saddle
    sores.
    Considering the Terry Fly also, but worried that the padding is too
    much.

    Thanks - Joel

    I used one on my Nobilette for about 2 years and really liked it but
    yer butt will determine if it's right for you. I use a SSM Rolls
    now...since it's n a Merckx, couldn't use a Terry on that.

    I have found inner peace with the Terry Fly saddle. All my bikes have
    them. Yes, they seem too soft, but the fart-slot makes up for that, and
    the padding does not go to places that would hurt. That allows the saddle
    to be softer than would otherwise work.

    It's also a nice and narrow saddle -- which means it happens to fit my
    pelvis. Whether it fits yours or not would require testing it out.

    I've been riding a Fly for a little over a year now, after my old Flite
    finally succumbed to the damage that I inflicted while using it on my
    MTB and I tossed its Flite Gel replacement (it was creating more
    problems than it was solving - all those seams! and the Gel seemed to
    harden). I absolutely love it, with one tiny caveat. If you're used
    to riding a saddle with a kick up in the tail (see generally, flite),
    you may be a bit disappointed with the flat profile of the Fly. It's
    generally super comfy, but there's not much to brace against when
    climbing.
