 9 |  Subject: SaddleGood evening guys ! I recently bought a triathlon bike ( Argon e117 ) pretty nice, and I got a question for you. What is your brand for your saddle ? Because mind is the original from the bike, and in the aero position, is not very comfy , I got some bid with excellent padding ( Castelli free Aero ) But between the leg there is no padding, so in aero position when I sit on the nose of the saddle, you can imagine the pain ... So I'm looking for your advice about the saddle, because I can't use the one I have for an Ironman  Thank !! |

Pro 5892     , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Saddle A couple of things... First it's very common that saddle issues are actually fit issues. Make sure you have a solid fit before you start replacing any saddle, or it can end up costing you lots of money and lost storage space taken up by all those extra saddles... :-) Second, the saddle is the most personal component on a bike. What works for me, may very well not work for you. So take this with a grain of salt... I'm using Bontrager Hilo RXL (and so is my wife). |

| 9 | Subject: RE: Saddle Yes I really understand your point about the saddle. And my goal , asking what is your saddle, is not the know what is THE BEST saddle, but what is your experience with your saddle bad or good, and with all the info, it will guide me with my next purchase. Anyone else wants to share their story for the saddle ?  |

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: Saddle I ride 3 different brands. My road bike has a Specialized Power. My Tri-Bike has an ISM Road on it. I also have a circa 1990's Greg LeMond IM branded saddle on my fixie, but I really wouldn't factor that into the equation. I went through demo tests from my LBS for both. The primary thing they have in common is the split nose design. It took a while to get the right ones, some trial and error. |

| 163 | Subject: RE: Saddle I have the Argon 119+ and I didn't even take the stock saddle home with me. I've tried my Cobb Randee (from my previous tri bike) and tried the Cobb SRT. I still end up with discomfort/chafing on the legs (despite liberal DzNutsBliss). I just ordered a Dash strike and hope to be more comfortable with a minimal style saddle, although I realize no saddle is something we would choose to sit on for hours if we weren't riding. |

Extreme Veteran 1175 Langley, BC, 'Wet Coast' Canada | Subject: RE: Saddle Originally posted by Martineau090 . Yes I really . derstand your point about the saddle. And my goal , asking what is your saddle, is not the know what is THE BEST saddle, but what is your experience with your saddle bad or good, and with all the info, it will guide me with my next purchase. Anyone else wants to share their story for the saddle ? Perhaps you did not really get the point being made.  As Jan wrote, every saddle-rider ' interface' is different... So even what I might describe as the most craptastically pain-inducing torture device may fit you perfectly Yes, compare shapes, width, firmness.... but terms like 'good' are far too subjective to really assist in making informed decisions. |
