George,

I really didn't have a good reason. The saddle was working great for me. It was a very, very comfortable saddle, and I could literally spend hours in it (and did on many occasions). However, I felt it may have been slowing me down due to there being no horn when I was in the drops and that my hands were bothering me a bit.

By last June, my symptoms had subsided to the point where I could actually ride a conventional saddle so I thought I'd try one. I got a Brooks, but that wasn't the answer (numbness hours after the ride), so I ended up with a Specialized Alias which I really, really like.

Knowing the chances of a reoccurance of prostatitis, I hang onto the Spiderflex just in case.

Take care,

Steve
