What're you running? Bought a Spesh but after just 3 rides the rails showing movement where they enter front of saddle. Grrrrrrrr………

Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.

Selle Italia SLR XC on all 3 of my bikes (even DH). Super light at 180 grams and tough as hell. Comfortable (to me) as well.

Always a personal choice but WTB Rocket V works for for me and they last well.

Treat saddles like running shoes. If you find the perfect fit, buy several so you're set up for the long run. For me it was the Bontrager Evoke rl. On the lighter end around 220gm, and nice and wide for my generous child-bearing hips. Only managed to snag two, but glad I did not that they've remodeled the line.

WTB Rocket V +1.
WTB Silverado (Team, IIRC). Never really comfortable, but then again, never really uncomfortable, even after 10+ hours of riding.

I just put a Lynx DT on. Its nice. No comfort issues at all. My one gripe is the DT material is very sticky. Moving around on the seat, my RF shorts stick to it. Only happens with RF shorts.

SLR TT (Ti rails, carbon shell, leather top) for me. 125 g claimed on the packaging; 149 g actual - I just weighed a brand new one. Two years still going strong on NS XC. I can't find it on the Selle site, so maybe it's been replaced with the even lighter carbonio version.

Comfort took a while to get used to the thin padding, but it's all good now. Just be light on the saddle.

:lol: Someone rep this man, I'm empty.

Being cheap is OK. Being a clueless sanctimonious condescending douchebag is just Vlad's MO.
