Today I did a 100 mile sportive and it made my bum hurt. Not in a chaffing type way, more in a 'been kicked up the jacksee' type way.
Then I realised that the saddle I was riding is the only saddle I've ever had on any geared road bike I've ever owned! I bought it for £15 from a fellow Cycle Chat user and have used it on every bike I've owned since. At a guess (and by looking at Endomondo stats) I'd say that saddle has done more than 8,000 miles with this saddle betwixt my sweet cheeks.
So how long should a saddle last?
