New saddle

[derrick]

Just fitted and did a short ride with a Fizik Arione Saddle with KiUM Rails, it feels really nice compared to the old Selle San Marco Ponza, looking forward to a longer ride at the weekend, i have a feeling it is going to be a nice ride.

I hear they are comfortable saddles - post back when you have ridden more routes for an update.

I got a Fizik Kurve Snake as OEM on my new bike. It's a bit different to what I had before (specialized Romin) and trying to set it u in the same way wasn't a recipe for comfort.

I had the Romin slightly nose up for a comfy ride. After a bit of tweaking with the Kurve I have had a comfy 60 mile ride. I ended up with it pretty much level and used the soft tensioner.

I think I am going to enjoy using the Kurve, a lot.

I also very much like the fact you can get the clip in Fizik saddle bags, no messing about. However, for various reasons, I have ended up with a medium and a small saddle bag that I don't need. Both unused and the small still has the packaging on it. If anyone has a fizik saddle and wants one, let me know and I am sure we can come to an agreement.

A small adjustment after first short ride, did 20 odd miles yesterday and 39 today, and it feels good, got a 50 charity ride next weekend so will report on that, but it does feel much better than the old one.

I've got the fizik small saddle bag and its excellent.

I used an Arione for several years - I thought it was amazing! However, after eating too many pies and a bit of weight gain later, it was no longer very comfortable on longer rides. I tried a Fizik Gobi XM which was quite good, but the Fizik Aliante is now my saddle of choice. I have to add that I did try a Specialized Romin and it was seriously the mopst painful saddle I've ever used in 25 years of serious cycling - it was okay until about 50 miles then it turned into a torture device!!!

I too have the aliante and i find its a great saddle IF i keep using it constantly. A couple of weeks off and its like starting over...

Love my Specialized Body Geometry Targa

I've just bought one today and hoping it sorts out my comfort issues. It was between this, a Selle Italia C2 gel flow (think it's called) or Romin Evo Expert. I had an Evans gift voucher so went in to the local one and the guy there measured me up and recommended the Arione which sounded like it'd suit me best. I just hope it wasn't £90 not well spent. I'm coming from a Charge Spoon which is agony for me on long rides and I suffer for days after.

Bought one a few weeks ago together with the Fizik seatpost. First ride with it was a 250km ride through Belgium and it was fine. Managed another 200km ride last weekend with it and again no probs. I like the length - you can sit back on the wider part or get forward onto the nose for a more aggressive position.

It did start creaking fairly loudly, but that seems to have calmed down now.
