The stock saddle that was on my 7.5 was spongy - in all the wrong places. I was pedaling: Squish - chafe - squish - chafe - squish - you get the idea. The Terry does not do this. Yes it hurt before I got used to it - about 15 miles - but rapidly I wasn't even aware of the saddle. No after-ride pains. Ready to hop right back on and keep riding.

Now that's a good saddle!
