…..probably been done on here before but looking for a saddle for the training bike and these 2 seem to fit the bill, they look very similar, are comments?

Cheers

Yep got them both here and they are exactlyh the same.

No problem. Think there is another that is near identical by Gusset.

Gusset R, is the one.

……would you care to elaborate? 😯

All use Velo’s 1205 model as a base, as do a lot of bike brand’s own label saddles.

Flux is slightly softer IMO

Agree with umop3pisdn, the Flux defineatly feels to have softer padding than the Spoon. Both are comfortable and same shape.
Marginaly prefer the Spoon, but would be happy with either

Got them both and they are not the same. Damn close though but some how the Spoon feels nicer. Dunno why.

What I meant was, Gusset R is the other saddle that uses the same basic chassis/construction, though it’s still the one you should choose because of this:

and this:

The 3 aren’t identical though, there’s differneces in outer/stitching and the Flux feels a wee bit less padded to me too- though wouldn’t want to call that one for sure.

Got two Spoons and a gusset R which I prefer,seems to feel a bit springier and the surface seems smoother.Probably just worn!

because of this thread I am £20 poorer… denim leopard skin saddle has been ordered. Death punk forever! Gonna have to start riding in my cut off denim jacket with leopard skin pockets. 😉

On the flip side I prefer my Spoons to my Gusset R which turned intolerably creaky quite quickly.

Are the saddles (Spoon/Flux/R) all the same width?

Yes

Thanks, so what is it? I’ve seen 138 for the spoon and 143-145 for the Flux/Gusset, which one is correct?

Edit: I suppose the differences could be down to level of cushioning?
