I'm in the market for a new saddle and some new grips.
I'm finding that my hands seem to wander inwards on descents (711mm bars) so way thinking of trying some 100mm (BMX) lock ons. I don't have small hands so bit worried that I'll slide off the end bit I want to train myself not to push my hands in. Anyone else had this problem? Anyone else tried small grips?
Saddles; what's good?
I have a SDG bel air Ti which I don't use as it's sooo noisy. My beloved Chromag Trailmaster is now creaking like my knees also. Any recommendations for a saddle? (comfortable, lightish, strong?) Anyone tried prologo MTB saddles?
Thanks in advance
I love my Charge Spoon, cheap too.
if your arse gets on with a bel air, then you should also be compatible with WTB saddles (very similar shape).
I have a silverado that is nice and comfy, and very light with ti rails.

Spoon... could try grips with a flange.

Cut the bars down a bit?
Trouble is buzz, I shouldn't need to. I'm not a small chap, 711mm'ers aren't wide bars. It's just poor form from me.
Thanks for the recommendations. My current grips are flanged, I dont bunch any closer than the edge. My hands just seem to cram up.
I'll give that silverado saddle a good look cheers Dave. I like a leather top.
Spoon here
WTB rocket V here, but saddles really are a pretty personal thing, the TLD ODI grips have a small rasied bit that should help with 'hand migration' too 😉
