    Need a new saddle… Like the Gobi but not sure what the difference is..?

    Also, will the carbon braid seat rails fit ok into a thomson seatpost?

    Thanks…

    Slight weight saving, the Gobi with carbon rails is technically road only I beleive, but I wouldn't worry too much!

    Will fit a Thomson yep, there's a list here[/url] which is technically for the Tune Speedneedle, but will cover any saddle with oversized rails, quite useful.

    Advantages of carbon saddle rails? Errrrrrrrrr…… smugness? That's about the only difference I can tell between a carbon aliante and regular one.

    From riding both, the Kium rails are slightly comfier due to flex in the rails, but I have managed to bend two in crashes. The carbon railed ones are a bit stiffer and I've never managed to break one of those.
