[Closed] what saddles do you use

Charge spoon on the HT and a scoop on the FS.

I will be swapping the spoon for another scoop when the time comes.

Graphtech. Good for your nuts too.

The popular Charge spoon for MTB and a prologo scratch pro for the roadie

2 x WTB SSTi's & 1 Rocket V

Stock cannondale one on my road bike, seems comfy enough. Charge spoon on my fs and a specialized bg avatar on my ht. The spesh is definitely they comfiest and I should probably get the road version for my roadie tbh..

Got a fizik tundra 2 on one bike, a SDG duster on another and Madison flux on another, they're all good

sdg bel air,nukeproof plasma and a charge scoop.all 3 very comfy in there own ways,only gripe with the scoop when on the nose climbing,the stiff underside chaffs a little,but still playing with position

Trying one of these Madison Flux £17.99 on ebay jobs at the moment. I think it's essentially a Charge Spoon but a bit cheaper. Usually use SDG Bel Air (cromo because the ti rails creak badly) which are comfy but they just fall apart, either the stitching/material fails or as on my latest one the plastic bits underneath came apart.

First ride yesterday and as per usual with every saddle I ride, after a few hours it cripples my arse and gives me numbness. Tilted the nose down and moved saddle forward for today's ride and it felt miles more comfortable. Always worth playing with saddle position as it has a big impact on comfort. Fairly impressed with the flux for saddle under £20 and it looks quite well made and they do a few colors.

I had the misfortune to be mis-sold a ridiculously expensive Fizik Gobi XM a few years ago. Apart from it being like sitting on a razor blade, one of the rails snapped clean in half mid ride. Fizik got really snotty about the warranty and claimed it had not been mounted correctly which was utter nonsense as you could clearly see where it had been clamped within the marked area. They finally sent a replacement which after 2 rides promptly snapped in exactly the same area on the rail despite me mounting it right in the middle of the marked area. Had a real nightmare getting another on warranty but when the second one finally arrived I sold it to a 9 stone carbon XC freak which is all they are good for.

These days I just can't see the point of paying an absolute fortune for a saddle so the cheapest you can get away with is probably best.

Used to be Bel Airs (I-beam if possible), but now running Pro Atherton DH saddles on all bikes (MTB, BMX and Road bike) Comfy, light, strong, scuff resistant, look good and suits my arse.

I loved it on my MTB and UK Bike store had them really cheap before xmas so upgraded all my other bikes.

Charge Spoon x3.

Just seems to fit, perfectly.

WTB Silverado, tried a Spoon and it was painful.

Road bike , San Marco Ponza
Hardtail , Madison Flux
Full Suss , SDG Bel Air.

Spoons x3

Full suss, Fizik Tundra 2,Hardtail,Fizik Gobi, Road bike, Fizik Arione.

Charge Knives, perfect for my case-hardened derriere. And a Ragley one because it was cheap, which tbh feels much the same to me.

Trying one of these Madison Flux £17.99 on ebay jobs at the moment. I think it's essentially a Charge Spoon but a bit cheaper.

There's no magician's code being broken here, just useful info if you want to find a comfy saddle and like one of the Velo OE shapes. They make good stuff for a lot of other saddle brands, the Merida/Giant of the saddle world really.

looked at the flux'es are they what they say better than spoon's

I've switched from spoons to the ragley one, principally cos the spoon has stiching that tears through the shorts

Charge Spoon, used it for the first time today and it's perfect for me.

Spoon for cant-go-wrong vfm but I love SLRs. Chromag Trailmaster on the big bike which suits it and a Charge Scoop on the Cannondale. Race Face Atlas on the Ramones which is my favourite ever so far - an off-road SLR

SDG bel air on the mtbs, Bontrager affinity on the roadies and a black one on the cruiser.

Was using a spoon but just swapped to a raceface atlas which is basicly a sdg ti fly ,it suits my narrow sit bones better than the spoon so im finding it slightly more comfy even though its a harder saddle:) not that the spoon was bad it was comfy on shorter rides.

San Marco concor protek... Just to be different

Fizik Arione, Flite Ti, Brooks B17. The Flite is still the most TiRed-ar*ed-shaped saddle available. On or off road. But the Arione looks better 😉

Flite on my road bike. B17 on my touring bike. Whatever Orange put on my MTB.

SLR Flow just got it very comfy and light

WTB Silverado, tried a Spoon and it was painful.

This. liked the shape of the Spoon but a bit too rigid and unforgiving for me. Silverados have a more flexible shell (with a couple of cut-outs) and work for me all day long.

got a second hand spoon off the bay .so nothing to loose if it 's no good for me.

currently running between 2 WTB Rocket V's and a Fizik Nisene. they're good but not as good as the SDG Bel Air i had. will soon be getting another Bel Air.

wtb rocket V here as well, never ever had any of the sore arse problems that people moan about, the saddle might be great or I might have a particularly hardy and resilient arse.

Jekkyl - stabbed/killed any more mice? 😀 someone with a rat problem has started a thread and may need your help...

Not a fan of the Spoon myself, I find it too wide and squishy. I have one on the NEw because it's cheap and I won't cry when it breaks (it's a first bike used for jumps etc).

I have a Knife on my main bike abd it's more comfortable but not very well made. The rails creak like crazy and the first one split for no apparent reason.

My favourite saddle that I've had was my I-Fly which I found really comfortable despite being very narrow and hard. It was also hard wearing. Changing to a dropper post meant that I had to ditch it. I'm going to try a Ti-Fly next.

2 charge spoons and a bonedge ti. plus a soft gt one on the ss

2 x SDG Bel Air on the FS and hardtail.

Big birthday pressie to me so treated myself to a Brooks Cambium on the SS, looks lovely and is damn comfortable.

SDG Bel Air on MTB, 'cross and road bike (titanium rails on the road bike, mainly because it was cheap at OnOne).

Comfy for me

Spoon and a Madison flux (same thing) on my 2 bikes, lard arse (ish) find them comfortable.

I like the Flux as it's the same shape as a Spoon but the saddle rails creaked after a bit. Spoons I've had don't do that. They just get trashed after too many crashes. I'd like to try a Knife as it looks narrower and could be more comfy. I'll get one when one of my current Spoons gets too ratty.

Another SDG Bel Air here too.

I like WTB saddles, but never got on with the Rocket. The SST, Speed V and Laser spring to mind as super-comfy perches (the SST is a retro minimal masterpiece, IMHumbleO).

[s]9[/s] 11 stone carbon XC freak with Fizik Gobi XM on everything but my xc race bike....... (that has a WTB saddle) 😉

a brooks B17, a funn full throttle, and a £5 mystery flyweight felt saddle from LBS bargain bucket

all work nicely for me

Brooks B17 special, B15 Swallow & a charge spoon.

Charge spoon and charge spoon

Tune Speedneedle 😈

Used SLR's previously but my legs always rubbed the sides towards the rear of the saddle and the nose is a bit longer than it needs to be for me. The replacement is better shaped in these areas for me and an SLR has such a firm shell that it wasn't much of a worry to switch to the equally firm Tune... comfort is all in the shape and fit IMO
