Criteria:
- Tough/hard-wearing
- Cheap (pref <£20 but will pay more if worth it)
- strength more important than weight
It's for DH-only duties for my full-suss (I swap my dropper post off for DH weekends). I'll rarely be sitting on it so comfort not the most important.
I managed to destroy the cover on my currently saddle in one weekend, purely through friction between saddle/grit/shorts - the edges are completely gone. Admittedly one day was particularly wet plus the grit on the Fort William track seems very abrasive, but I need something that'll last.
Any suggestions?
I've had several SDG Bel-Airs and not wrecked one yet. £20 is a cheap saddle though, maybe that's the problem...not up to the job?
You can get a used Bel Air for that money though. 🙂

sdg bel air, but costs more.
The saddle I destroyed was the standard Lapierre saddle (made by San Marco I think) that came on my Spicy. Probably not the most expensive one I guess.
