What he said.
Don't forget the Selle Italia Flite, the king of saddles !
Y'know, I'd have said the same thing a couple of months ago.
I've used Flite Ti saddles on my mountain bike for the past
7 years and always swore by them. Recently I've been converting
to the roadie thang which initially meant lots of very long road
rides on my slick shod MTB. After four or five hours of being
sat down spinning, the old bung hole was in absolute agony.
I then tried one of them thar WTB Rocket V saddles which improved
the situation greatly, though still not perfect.
When I bought my new *cough*road*cough* bike I specced a Fizik
Aliante on it. And thus far it's been bloody marvellous.
Whether that's down to a genuine ergonomical improvement, a change
of riding posture down to the different type of bike, or simply the
mind refusing to accept that having spent all that dosh on a saddle,
that it could possibly be uncomfortable. ;-)
Whatever it's all highly subjective and personal. You'll just have
to try different saddles until you find something that works for you.
