I was using a websprung saddle that came stock with my Schwinn, but I replaced it after talking to some posters here and getting some saddle advice myself. Someone suggested the above saddle and I got it for $55 CAD from
MEC. It turns out my butt didn't need a wider saddle since my sit bones remain the same despite my weight. As another poster remarked; there was a skinny rider inside me just waiting to get out. Anyway, the saddle is comfortable, it has a cutout for my perineum, is covered with genuine leather, and I no longer suffer from the chafing on my inner thighs. Best of all, my pedaling is now more efficient as I can apply more power to each stroke.
Oops! Forgot but we have Liberator saddles on our tandem. Hmm, we only paid $45 at the Performance shop.
...Nice and comfy but I'd still give the edge to the Fly
