Thanks for feedback. I figure the best way is to test and try out saddles in person.
I borrowed an old Specialized saddle (Avatar 143) from my brother. It is around 143mm wide. I'm not sure if this is considered medium or soft. Feels a bit soft, but it is an old saddle. I tried it for 5 minutes yesterday; and will use it to commute to work tomorrow for the real test.
And I will borrow a saddle from colleague to test out.
Hopefully these trials will give me some direction on which saddle to get.
Based on YouTube and online research, I am leaning toward these. But a lot of details to decide on:
- Saddle Width: Medium (around 142mm) or narrow (135mm)
- Firmness: medium (like WTB Volt) or firm (like WTB Silverado). Ergon is also another brand I'm looking at. But Ergon doesn't specify the firmness.
