    What do the big lads out there rate, a mate at work is about 20 stone and is resurecting an old MTB to riding with his kids… Looking for a bit of comfort… I would say support buit short of going to DFS I cant think what would be comfy.

    Halfords have some real sofas of saddles for reasonable prices and well made.

    17st and Selle Italia Flite, Fizik Arione, SDG Bel Air (old type) OR a dead cheap Planet X one. Frasnkly al lequally good for a couple of hours, If going over 6 hrs then Flite, Arione or Bel Air.

    The Brooks creaks a lot, but isn’t bad at all if he can stand to break it in.

    18st here and using a wtb rocket v stealth with ti rails., not quite as comfy as my old ti railed flite though ( would have bought another one, but couldn’t face the months of pain while breaking it in!)

    A Specialized Rival 155mm

    Lots of padding but also the v groove thing to not cut the blood off to his nadgers.

    Also not too expensive.

    17.5st – used to have a WTB pure which was good…that wore out and I got a Charge Spoon….looks narrow but surprisingly comfy (and cheap!)

    It all the usual saddle suspects then really, seems a lot of votes for the WTB, all the same saddles as I have been through at 12st… I am onto a spoon myself and find it good, but rekon the WTB has most votes so far.

    Cheers lads.
