Hi, fellas. In badly need of a nice bike saddle. I've just looked into this
density saddle. Will I be disappointed? Am I on the right track? Any other good options?
I wish I (we) could give a definitive answer. Sadly, there isn't one. There isn't a 'one size fits all'.
So much depends on your backside, the type of bike you have (and position on it) and how you want to ride.
I personally would avoid anything too soft or foam-like, or even gel. Firmer saddles are, perhaps counter intuitively, somewhat more comfortable in my experience. Then there's saddle shape; I tend to prefer a broad flat-ish saddle - like the Spec Avatar. I don't get on with thinner razor edge type ones. My fave saddle, or so it seems, is the one that came std on my On-One fixed... and I couldn't even tell you who makes it!
Edit: Sorry, but I reckon it's trial and error. Maybe start with the Charge Spoon (since it's relatively cheap and has a good and growing reputation), spend some time getting it set up and then give it some time... work out your own preferences from there.
