So i am back riding after 2 and a bit years gap. Rather than the expensive trialling of saddle anyone got a spare tend could lend me to try for a day or two. Ive got 20+ mile commute each way which will give me a quick indication (i think).

Prefer pickup - London but if not hapoy to discuss

Im not sure if the CC saddle library still exists [edit: just checked it does not]

@musa I've got a men's saddle you could try. A prologo something or other I think. Where in London are you? I could leave it with the nice chaps at pearsons if that works for them and you?

Or I'll be at London Bridge around 9 on Thursday

What type of bike do you have?

As for saddles a Charge Pan is a very good, but cheap saddle. Better than the Spoon in my opinion.

Spoon IMHO.


I have a couple of no brand things that you could have. I'm even happy to post them - just make a donation to a charity of your choice.

I have both the Spoon and the Pan. The Spoon has been relegated to the ceiling of my man cave.

What did you use before that worked? Unless you've had your sit bones remodelled (like j lo ??)

I've got a standard Boardman saddle (surprisingly good), a standard Planet-X (not quite as comfortable for me), a Brooks B17 (I simply don't have a Brooks butt) and a charge spoon (lots of people get on with them) that I'm not using since developing prostate issues. You're welcome to try them out and if you like any of them you can name me a price. I'm not on your route into work, I'd imagine, but I can get into somewhere fairly central one day next week if you want to try any of them.
