saddle

While watching the TDF, I noticed that many riders actually sit at the front of their saddle. Is it more comfortable that way or do they do it only for a few minutes to relieve pressure on their backside?

I appreciate this could be a "How long is a piece of string?" question, but here goes... Elder Son and I are almost ready to build the resurrected Rando we're working on, and we're wondering how to select a saddle. Neither of us has experience of drops so this is a whole new world. At the...

I have my bars as high as possible as after 25/35 miles my neck starts to sieze up (its age). On Saturday my ride took me to Arley Hall where I got talking to a guy that was maybe 6' 2"......maybe more. He was on a Giant TCR and his saddle must have been 10" higher than his bars. I had to...

Used but in very good condition. Recently treated with proof hide. £35.00 inc p&p. Payment by BACs.

Hi there I'm after a new saddle and I'm after some recommendations. I've got a charge spoon that I don't mind but when I ride more than 30 to 40 miles my bum starts to get a bit numb .so i brought a brooks cambium c17 .i really wanted to love this saddle because i loved the look of it on my bike...

Anyone of a fussy disposition, please leave now! Anyone suffered from skin fissures around their anus after frequent cycling? I seem to have developed a small fissure between my bum-cheeks, which heals nicely if I'm off the bike, but becomes sore and bloody post-ride. I am fastidious about...

Have a Fizik saddle with those shiny Kium rails. Noticed it slipped backwards mid ride so tightned the bolts and still slipping. Not going to over tighten as the seat post is carbon. Anway got home tonight, took the saddle off and put electrical tape on the rails where the clamp touches. Will...

I like to have a gander at what's for sale near me. Just found this Wiggins Rouen on eBay "Seat is bit tatty Generally good condition Some wear marks and been used" Thanks for mentioning that saddle geezer, might've been disappointed otherwise.

I've picked up a nice Raleigh SPD 531 frame that [owing to a rattle can spray job] is ripe for doing a post-modern restoration - New groupset etc, but keeping the look as retro as possible. This means I want my first, overdue, Brooks saddle but even the sportier numbers seem to be wide compared...

Only used for 30 miles so essentially as new. https://www.sigmasports.com/item/Specialized/Phenom-Comp-Saddle/H1PB Great reviews online and RRP £84 PayPal fees excluded

a problem I’ve had since day zero. More recently, I have had a professional bike fit which I hasten to add, cost me £230, and he moved my saddle to the right position and is level. But since I’ve been riding I’ve got very sore lady bits. Have had to slant the saddle again, but this means I...

Hi all, as the title suggests really, any recommendations on a saddle that is comfy rather than trying to split me in half! I’m not looking to spend a small fortune, it may limit me I know but upto around £50 I’m happy to part with. Cheers. I have had a look and one that is looking quite a good...

Hi Guys, just started riding again having had my Trek Hybrid serviced by my LBS. Used to commute 15 miles a day on it but since moving it has been sat in the garage for a couple years. Have had a few rides this week and realise how much I miss it. Also have lost a stone since Xmas and want to...

So, about a decade ago I got a Brooks saddle. I am not one of those people blessed with a Brooks shaped backside, but eventually one of us broke the other in and it's been pretty comfy for much of the time. Only thing is I've noticed a few surface cracks. Nothing dramatic, just a couple of fine...

The bike I bought yesterday was from a lady who had this saddle fitted so it is now surplus to requirements . The bike was little used and the saddle in is good condition and looks like the one in the attached link below. The reviews look good but the pink logo's are putting me off trying it...

Recently got my bike made up by LBS. This is the angle he put the seat at. He does TTs so guess he knows his stuff but does anyone else think the angle is a bit extreme?

As per pictures. Won by me in 2015 at Eroica Britannia. Couriered to me at home as we were not onsite for the draw. One of ten made. Immaculate condition. Would suit a bike shop or maybe a nice mancave. Should be displayed and be seen. Not sure of value but certainly a rare saddle. Will offer...

I keep a few bikes and other things in a lock up garage about a mile from home. I only pop in once every couple of months. It doesn't seem very damp but my Brooks B17 on an unused (mostly!) touring bike builds up a layer of green mould over that time. A wipe with a cloth sorts it. A much...

Waiting for one of these to arrive.Just bought one of these for my new road bike , it has lots of good reviews Has anybody here got first hand experience of it ? always suspicious of the so called " reviews " on bike sale websites

Hi selling a specialized Romin Evo 155 saddle which I have advertised as used but it was fitted to my bike then realized I needed a 143 so was too wide for me, it does have marks on the rails unfortunately through bike fitting but other than that it is in excellent condition. Looking for £50

In very good condition. £50 posted

Hi there I’ve got a BMC Team Machine carbon bike which I love - I've had it for nearly 2 years now. On the back of it, I have a Topeak saddle bag. When it was being fitted, the saddle had to be moved back slightly to accommodate the saddle bag fittings. I do overstretch a bit but I’m used to...

I took a bit of sorting. But it works

I went out to my shed today and found that for the first time in two and a half years i had a rear puncture. All my tools and spare tubes are in my small topeak saddle bag. Unfortunately the zipper had rustened and although i sprayed wd40 on it wouldn't budge. In the end i took a stanley knife...

I went out on my e bike today and once again I have pain down the left hand side near my privates, I had it after my previous ride but it went away, the doctor is sending for a scan. I`m looking at one of the saddles that don`t have a long front section like this...
