Hi all,
When my Cube Streamer arrived, the Cube RFR Saddle had been replaced by a Fizik Aliante Saddle with Manganese rails.
I was informed that this saddle is a very high quality (being new to road bikes, I'd never heard of the brand before!) and is race spec.
The problem is, after a relatively short cycle of 20 miles yesterday, my backside was absolutely killing me! I had some Endura 6 panel shorts on too!
I haven't ridden properly for a couple of years, so do you think I just need breaking in to get used to the feeling of the saddle, or start looing for another saddle to improve the comfort? I know that I've hardly given this saddle a chance yet, but I was just surprised by firm it feels!
Other than that, the bike is fantastic!
Many thanks,
Nick
