my current saddle a WTB silverado is wearing pretty thin, so i’ve been looking at a couple of new saddles. I did have a selle italia on my new canyon, but hated it – the ‘wings’ split bit at the back really got in the way when i dropped off the back for steep bits, so i switched back to the silverado.

I’ve had a look at these:

http://www.tredz.co.uk/.WTB-Rocket-V-Comp-Saddle_46513.htm

anyone got any advice / experience of these 2? I’m not overly bothered on weight as i’m fairly hefty anyway! But i’d rather not pay much more than £30 odd.

I’ve just put a rocket v race on my nerve am. I rate it highly. This is my first full susser, and I didn’t realise how much time you spend sitting on the saddle. I am used to charge spoons and cube rfr on hard tails, but the race v is light given its size and padding. Youll find it for £35 online.

Have tried them both (and loads of others) and now sticking with WTB as they seem to suit me better than anything else.

I haven’t tried a Silverado (how much!!!!) but shape and design looks very similar so I would think either of those two you’ve linked would be fine.

Wiggle have one SQ Lab 150 mm left at £45. This is half rrp and they are very comfy as an alternative.
