This is a topic of great interest to me.
Weight is important for me when choosing a saddle. I try to find saddles that have a hole or a curvature. I'm running three saddles: :: Selle Italia SLK (w/ hole 185g) :: Selle Italia SLR Gelflow (has hole 185g), and :: WTB SST (269g) I like the WTB the best. Note that it is on my commuter bike, and I'm never sitting on it for an extended period of time, due to stop lights or bumps on the road, etc. Second fav. is the SLR; the SLK comes in third because it feels too wide. I have tried the PROLINK Gel Flow (320g) and it's worthwhile. Too heavy though. Several women recommended the Selle Italia Flite Trans Am, but I never tried it. Tried the WTB Rocket V, too soft. Tried San Marco Aspide and could only feel the embroidery on my a$$! Do they have to do get so fancy? I will add that I rode the SLR for two weeks, 50-80 miles per day (on a homemade bike tour), and had a wonderful ride. No pain, no numbness, no chaffing. |

Had a terrible time with my one size fits all saddle until my LBS put it up ridiculously high during a revision. I left it that way and it was odd at first, but I have not had a sore bum since. Did I mention ridiculously high? Tippy-toe high?

That's how I run the saddle on my commuter bike, and it's the saddle/bike I like best. I can't reach the ground while sitting. It's great! |
