I'm out of college thanks, and it's not about "my way".
I've given distinct reasons why it's not practical to use one.
It's too heavy.
It's too much of a hassle to care for and use.
It's not that comfortable really in my experience.
Yeah, those couple of extra grams are really holding me back. Let's face it, unless your a CAT level racer, weigh is meaningless. And even more meaningless on a commuter or a touring bike.
Where ever do I find the 15 minutes every year to give the saddle a good Proofide application.
Comfort is a personal experience. 8-10 hours in the saddle is all I need to give it a thumbs up.
