Subject: Another prop for the ISM Adamo saddle!

Saturday I stopped by the LBS and snagged the demo ISM Adamo Racing Saddle to see how it feels and rides, as I read a couple of good reviews about it here on BT and on ST.  I put it on and went for a ride today, I'm not over acting here, I LOVE THIS SEAT!  I felt like I had it set a little too forward but I stayed with it as I forgot to bring my tools with me.  Just like the picture for the sit-diagram, the boys hang over the front and there is absolutely no pressure at all to deal with.  I was able to keep my hip/pelvis rotated forward like it should be and really was really comfortable for the 1st time on the tri-bike.  I thought maybe the wide nose would be an issue but it was fine.  I should have done this a long time ago, I guess I'll be ordering a one real soon!!!

I just put one on my tri bike a week or so ago. Haven't had the bike off the trainer yet, so I can't say how it rides outside, but noticed immediate relief for the most important concern. It will take some getting used to (it's pretty firm), but so will everything else as this is my first year on a tri bike. Glad to hear another positive comment!

I've had this saddle for a while. Great saddle in relieving crotch pain. Only complaint I have is, at around 50/60/70 miles or so, when you need to stretch out a little, and sit up, the butt area has no cushion. I've tried using a desoto neoprene saddle cover which has helped a little, but not significant relief.

Thanks for the link to the sit diagram. Never seen it before.

I have this saddle. That diagram is awesome. I am going to try that rotation. I had called the guys at Adamo when I first bought it and spoke to a tech guy who told me that angling it slightly down helps.

I love the saddle. I heard a tip from a slowtwitch forum. If the width is an issue, use a zip tie or two to cinch the nose prongs closer
