Getting an aching botty at the 100 mile mark which because of all the jiggery pokey I have to do to keep comfortable upsets my pace.
I've used Flites since day one, but I guess my extra weight isn't helping and they are very rigid.
Don't say Brooks I will not suffer one no matter how good they look.
Looking along the lines of Aspides that sort of thing.
I do have a spare SLR saddle but it's Blue so wont fit.
mate of mine gets his flights covered at an upholstery place.
just a thought like.
Like in Plum velour with a gold fringe?
TBH I think it's the base, I've never really noticed how stiff the are.
Can you not get one with more Gel padding in there?
fizik i reckon if you want a bendy base. 😉
Again something that's a lot of do$h that you won't know is working until it's too late.
strip back the flites cover , thin down the base with a stanleeeey blade
rebuild up with some new high density foam , soak some leather , stretch over and glue ....
my mate does cracking rebuilds on flites similar to above (but more indepth) and creats a great bastard saddle that is awesome to sit on for hours !
i save it for extra long distances off road as its dying and hes moved a long long way away
