    Currently on a Bel Air rl but was thinking of having a change on a new build.

    What do you guys use and any recommendations?

    Charge Spoon Ti, it’s comfortable and not too expensive, one of the few saddles I found immediately comfy and didn’t have that breaking my arse in period.

    selle slr.

    either xc gel flow.
    standard 135.
    or teknologika

    depends on the bike

    2 of my bikes have Selle Italia Flites, the other has a WTB Silverado. The Flites are great for my arse, the wtb is ok for short rides. When one of my Flites dies, i’m thinking about a Charge Knife next, it looks good.

    various specialized saddles depending on road, mtb, etc all in 143 size.

    Recommended them to a mate who now calls them “a revelation”

    Agree completely with Akira.

    I ran a Bel Air RL Ti before it and it was good but the Spoon is more comfortable and I reckon it looks better too

    Impossible to recommend a saddle for comfort as everybody is different surely? I have fully stripped down SLR’s on all my bikes. They look like they should cut you in half but are supremely comfortable for me. Another thing that I found, the thicker the pad on the shorts, the more uncomfy they are. Currently riding in lycra running shorts. Works for me.

    i’m with barca there.

    i find a nice thin/solid saddle is super comfy.

    and fat/soft chamois are pish. a thinner harder/denser one is better (imo)

    i got spoons on both bikes. ti railed on mtb, standard cro-mo rails on road. couldn’t tell the differrence in weight before putting themonto the bikes. not really the sort of place you need to save weight.

    never found them to be uncomfy and the white has stayed white on the road bike. brown on the mtb.

    20 quid for cro-mo. bargin.

    had an wtb before these. find that although comfy enough they look very bulky. it also sucked up water as it had fabric panels. not good in that respect.

    I use the ladies ariel saddles from spesh in a 143 size, very comfy.

    had belair ti on both the FS and Cotic soul.

    Thought I would try and lose some weight from the FS (Ventana X5) and tried the Ti Fly from merlin (£33).

    Looks like a hard saddle but I was surprised how comfy it was. It was harder than my SDG Belair but that did’nt seem to bother me.

    Spoon – good
    Some cheap selle italia – good also
    WTB Devo – just too hard for long rides

    WTB Rocket V’s for a few years but have just bought a Charge Spoon Ti.
    Have yet to fit it but seems pretty comfy.

    Got a Planet X saddle that I guess will be much the same as the On One Inbred…very comfy and a steal at six quid. Also a SDG Bel Air I-Beam that fits my rump very nicely… but nothing (on a bike) that I’ve sat on can match my old WTB SST98…. A true classic.

    My three mountain bikes have I-Beam FX’s on, which are the most cosierently comfortable saddles I’ve used in twenty-plus years of riding, my Sutra has a Brooks Swift Ti on a Moots Ti post.
