As title.
I got a brand new hybrid about 3 weeks ago and have covered about 120 miles on it. After riding about 30 miles, I get proper saddle sore.
Will the seat settle a bit or should I just get a Charge Spoon like I use on the other Bikes ?
It's ages since I bought a brand new bike so can't remember if I've had this issue before.
should I just get a Charge Spoon like I use on the other Bikes
Yes - Assuming that's comfy for you
Saddles are such a personal preference item. I'd say go with what works for you.
It will break your arse in before it breaks in...
Get the one that you know and works...
A good one might sweeten a bit with use but in my experience, an uncomfortable one will never become more comfortable.
Leather saddles such as Brooks break/bed in , but most of the regular Plastic and foam variety's stay as they are(except for covers waering and foam padding slowly breaking down)
With the latter either your arris starts to a acclimatize to it or it will remain horrendously uncomfortable.
Charge don't make the spoon anymore, but you can pick up one from eBay or some random stores.
They rebranded to Fabric, which make the Scoop. The Fabric Scoop Radius is closest to the Spoon, and is really nice. They make a Shallow, which is a little flatter and may be more appropriate to a road bike.
