That's a bit puzzling then. Which saddle is the most comfortable out of the 5? Even so, there can't be that much difference between them all if you keep them as they are.
That reminds me, I've got a Charge spoon lying on the table in my kitchen. I must get around to clearing out unused saddles.
The saddle needs to fit the bike as well as the rider, as you'll be in different positions on different bikes.That's a bit puzzling then. Which saddle is the most comfortable out of the 5? Even so, there can't be that much difference between them all if you keep them as they are.
Its position relative to pedals and therefore legs varies with seat post angle - this also changes the nose shape you need. The shape of it varies slightly as you lean forwards more, with sit bones prominence changing and bits between and forwards being lower.
Yes but if you do the long miles on a saddle that's fundamentally wrong for you, you can do quite nasty damage no matter how hard-arsed you are by squishing the soft and sometimes-soft(!) bits.
That sounds irrational. Sometimes gel is a useful material for synthetic saddles. I think all my saddles except the Brooks have some gel of some description on some part of them. Often posh saddles have gel but it's called something else like multidensity closed-cell foam because of this irrationality, similar to how some sprung saddles get marketed as having a rail suspension system.
Except for the seams around the edge of the pad (including one at the front which is often in a delicate place for men
) and between the panels of the rest of the shorts? Flat-seam and seamless underpants are available... but there are a frustrating number of shops which call things seamless when they're only flat-seamed.
