I like my saddles pretty flat along their length. When they have a bit of a whale tale on the back, I feel as though I'm sliding forward when I sit upright. Mildly annoying on the road; super annoying on my trainer.
Saddles that I currently enjoy that are fairly flat:
- Selle Italia Max SLR.
- Ergon road (trainer favorite).
- Fizik Vento Antares.
Same here. With my saddle at an appropriate hieight, I can sit comfortably on practically anthing, as long as it's the correct width and reasonably level. I've had Retul fitters suggest raising it a few millimeters, but I'm still in their acceptable range.
