Doh!
Yesterday was also my first day on a Flite Ti Genuine Gel. It was okay for the first 20k's, but I appear to have a sore butt this morning ( not sure where the Gel comes in, that's one hard saddle ). Seems as though the quest for the comfy saddle continues. What do you guys use? Any of you close to 6ft 4ins, 90kg?
g'day,
Hills?...on beach Rd?....gimme a break!......as far as the saddle goes, I'm a larger guy & am rapt in my Fizik Arione.....looks weird at first glance because of the length, but I'm a fan. Quite a few of my mates have also got 'into' them & are happy. The length provides a whole heap more 'positions' on the bike...so you can move around depending on whether your climbing, cruising or eating bar tape...check them out...not cheap though
