I’m still struggling to get a saddle which is comfy beyond a couple of hours. I’ve been advised and butt measured and looked at on my bike by two different LBS’s, both had similar thoughts and suggestions.
This is on gravel / road / do it all Vagabond.
I’ve been through an SDG rocket (mine was too wide, just cos it works on MtB means nowt in a different position), tried a Charge Spoon (agony), used a Bontrager Avarda (great for upto 1hr, then painful, and don’t go near it for multiple days riding), Selle Italia Superflow Green (good shape, just very hard after a couple of hours) splashed out on a San Marco Shortfit Comfort (pretty good, but I can feel the edge of the cutout and just over a year in and it creaks and has lost comfort/feels soft)…
I also borrowed a bike with a well worn leather B17 on and tried it without padded shorts – and it was comfy….
So I think I use a pretty narrow (currently on 136mm), either a smaller or less pronounced cut out, flattish but with a slight rise to rear saddle…?
I’m wondering about a B15 Cambium…?
Maybe another Selle Royale Marco but with less of/no cutout?
