I’ve been looking for a ‘winter’ replacement for my trusty Brooks Ti B17….it’s just too wet here throughout the winter and it sits in a permanent wet state which isn’t the best….so….after a full 12 months I’ve finally settled on a WTD Pure V. Here’s my list of tried / tested / failed as it happened.
1. Brooks C15 Cambium – 2/10 – like sitting on a brick but the brick was comfier.
2. Fabric Ti Scoop – 3/10 – lasted 1 x 2hr ride, too hard
3. Fizik Gobi – 5/10 – too narrow and slightly too hard
4. Specialised Phenom – 6/10 – hot spots after 2.5hrs
5. Charge Spoon – 7/10 – getting there but hot spots after 3.5hrs
6. WTB Pure V – 10/10….JOY OH JOY!
Have a look at the WTB site, they recommend measuring your sit bones and then campaign that to their fixing chart which eventually pointed me in the right direction.
At the end of the day..you just have to try a few…
