Hi all,
I was looking for a Charge Spoon saddle to see what the fuss was all about and the black ones seem to be out of stock everywhere.
Then I found two sellers on Ebay from Taiwan who have them in stock, at a very reasonable price.
Anyone knows if these Taiwan Spoons are trustworthy?
I'm asking because there was some talk a couple of years ago about counterfeit WTB saddles, so I'm curious.
Thanks in advance for any help
Cheers
How about a Madison Flux instead? They are identical.
There is the Ltd edition all black one in stock:

have you looked at Fabric saddles? I think they have one that's the same.
check the Ribble site.
That looks a very normal price for a Spoon. Mine was about £14 from Wiggle. Not always easy to find the colour you want though.
Madison Flux is very similar but a bit more padding. I have both.
The gusset r series is the same as the charge spoon as well. I picked up a ti version for £17...
SDG Falcon is similar too.
The ti ones are usually cheap somewhere.
The covering matters a lot, some are sticky which is bad, others are smooth which is good.
I bought a Madison flux and the back seeme more curved upwards than it used to be.
Aren't they made by some mfr who sells it to several different brands...
I have the Ti version on a couple of bikes, & love them.
I buy in parts from Taiwanese ebay shops when I need them, cheaper than local for me, and I haven't been stung on tax yet.
If it's real it'll be fine. Then creak like a rusty door after 2 months.
Thanks for all the answers
I think I should be fine with the Taiwan ones then
About the Fabric, aren't they the same as the old Scoops?
Which one is comparable to the Spoon?
Thanks
Spoon's are made by Velo.
The model number for their own brand equivalent is 1205.
Info kindly provided by Jameso of this forum some time ago.
I've only just remembered, hope this helps.
