best saddle for comfort?

[saltyman]

im in need of a modern, comfy saddle for my modern bike.

i have used the ones with the section cut out of the middle in the past, some good, some no difference.

any ideas, or favourites you folk could suggest?

just noticed this one.....

Personal faves are Charge Spoon & WTB Rocket V

Lightweight, comfy (for my arse anyway) and can come with Ti rails & leather for added bling

Saddle in your link just looks wrong to me

im using the charge spoon Ti now bud, its never the same two rides in a row.

some days its superb, others it knacks!

+1 for the Spoon, or it's road sibling, the Charge Knife.

What type of discomfort do you have? And is it all the time on every bike or after a while on a particular one? Lots of folks naturally assume its the saddle but it can be shorts, geometry and positioning and even just getting used to cycling again.

The adamo saddle is a hit and miss saddle, if your getting sore bawz and bawz area it might help, but only if you think your hip angle is too tight if you know what I mean. There website explains quite alot. TBH they are mostly targeted at time triallers and triathletes who get low on the front of the bike. You should be aware that some complain of chaffing between the thighs because of the slightly wider nose.

Selle Italia SLR.
Perfect for boney arses.
And light, too!

I like the slr but I've broken 2 so far , damn hollow rails . I will stick with the normal flite and I will continue to wear jeans while riding my rigid bikes as I have balls of steel

You won't get much comfier. And best of all it will last a whole lot longer than things like the Spoon.

And that Adamo thing looks horrendous.

Another recommendation here for the Charge Spoon.......

At about 4 times the price, one would hope so.
