Is a Saddle with Springs for a Bad Back Appropriate?
Hello everyone. I was just wondering if I should look into getting a saddle with springs on it like a Brooks Flyer series because I have a back issue. My concern is that the springs would somehow exacerbate any bumps in the road I hit because of the recoil of vibrations that a spring holds for those few seconds, and am therefore worried that I would feel any sort of road shock longer in my back, albeit, the shock itself would probably be less intense overall.
Would it be advisable to look into one of these saddles, or do you think I am better off with a standard saddle that does not have springs?
