I just bought a Jamis Dakar XC Comp and it comes with a Fizik Plateau seat that feels like sitting
on a slab of granite. Does anyone have a suggestion for a comfortable gel seat for a girl? Thanks!
Plateau is a pretty squish saddle to start with. I've had to start using one as a selle italia
octavia had been causing some (ah hem.. ) problems. It will mould slightly - try heating it up with
a hair dryer or stick it in some warm sun for a while before riding. There is, however, no guarantee
it is the right shape for you and only you can decide what is by trying various different saddles.
There are plenty of articles on the net and different points of view of what you should be looking
for. I would however recommend against gel. Anything that moulds too much will be a problem in that
pressure will cause the gell to move away from your solid bits (sit bones) and possibly cause
pressure in unwanted areas as a result.
good luck nick
