Just fitted my new carbon seat and post went for non offset it feels much better £36 for the two 8 days to get here and free postage just incredible,just done a14 mile spin and cannot stop smiling,how long it will last who knows ?
I spent years racing motorbikes and know a thing or two about quality after dealing with people like, Maxton and Akropovic unbelievable for the price.
Handlebars next then forks and wheels in the winter months, I will never knock Chinese carbon ever again.

Holy thread resurrection but seen someone else with a carbon saddle and it's perked my interest as its much cheapness. Yes you do get what you pay for or do you? How are you getting on now with your cheap Chinese carbon?

Knocking it is ok - just don't try and bend it.

I`v decided to pimp my beloved Carrera Fury. Bought her some white Shimano PD-M520 pedals today for a start, new grips and seat post clamp will be purchased in the next few days.

I`v been looking at them there cheap Chinese carbon fibre seats, seat posts and handle bars on ebay today and will be taking the plunge at the end of the month. I`ll get all 3 for under £50. What could possibly go wrong

Don't bother. Cheap carbon saddle. Nope. Carbon fibre splinters up your Jacksie won't be nice.

I know someone that got a cheap carbon saddle to go on his Pinerallo. It snapped in half on a ride and he had to do 35 miles with no saddle. He has a "normal" saddle now

It's your ass. I'll stick with a genuine Selle Italia SLR.

The irony is that Prologo don't even make a saddle with that shape. In fact, they don't actually make a full-carbon saddle. So it's not even a good fake.
