Lifespan of a Charge Spoon saddle

Maybe it's just my bumcakes that are failing?

Are they really that good of a saddle?

I hated the one I tried, most painful saddle I've had!!

Maybe it's your shorts that have done their last few miles?

I didn't think that much about them, til I did a 300k this year in my older shorts. I suppose the padding had worn, they had seen about 5000 miles.

I thought I would have to go to the @rse ward of the hospital when I got back...

The padding on the old style spoon is firmer than the Flux I'm led to believe, although the chassis are identical. I've got them on every bike, and a Knife on the road bike, and haven't experienced any loss of support. What I do get is the infernal creaking where the rails join the base on the older ones. Try a Scoop.

My charge spoon has done 11k now. No problems with it. I put them on every bike I have, great value and they suit my backside.

Shorts are fairly new. I remember the foam padding on some cheap shorts leaking out through a split seam. I won't go into too much details but 'throbbing like a tailgunners thumb' would be putting it mildly. It was after that ride I decided to start buying expensive shorts, which was a damn good decision.

I'm going recumbent on long rides now...
Drastic, but the memory of that pain never leaves

The saddle will be fine. I've snapped two Knifes as they are crap.
