i have a bmx that i flatland freeride, i came back home with it about 2km of riding, and the seat is with very little cushion on it, and yesterday i actually came home with a bruised @**, no joke.
my dad’s bike is a mountain bike, large gel seat with springs on it, it feels like a couch. << i recommend the ones that they sell at Sears or the Bay, those are made for comfort
regards
Much more comfier, it will feel like sitting on a cloud no joke
It’s a huge improvement, although they’re really for touring cycling. On a mountain bike you shouldn’t be on your saddle much, and also should be looking to keep your hardware weight down as much as possible.
Too right they are mate, i bought one and they really are the buisness. Before when i got off me bike, it felt like i had been to one of michael barrymores partys. Know wot i mean? And another advantage is, in the summer when the girls are riding around in skimpy shorts, the material the saddles are made of, really capture the sweet smell of the girls firm buttocks and inner thighs which all in all makes "saddle sniffing" a much more pleasurable experience for us city gents. Know wot i mean?
i’ve been riding with a gel seat cover, for about 6 or 7 years now, i would’nt like to try without….<^><…
You lose control, movement and a "feel" of your bike with a big cushion seat. I know traditional saddles are uncomfortable, but only at first, I promise. If you ride on it every day for week (30 minutes or more each time), it will hurt on the 2nd and 3rd day but by the 4th and 5th you will start to get the feel and bruising with mellow. After that break in period you will love the smaller harder saddles so much more.
Although it isn’t the lightest, I ride with a brooks leather saddle and have been for the past 23 years. Once they get broke in they are the best ever! I wouldn’t have a bike without one.
What you need in a bike seat is support and to have it properly fitted according to body size.
Gels can be worst than "normal" saddles if they are not the right size. You can move much more and the soft gel will not give support but rub your inner legs, etc.
Your best option is to go to a good bike shop and get advice according to your size and kind of riding, and the get in fitted to the right height.
Specialized just launch a new system of saddles and the way they are fitted, it might be worth while to take a look at them. And yes, leather saddles are very good too.
Shop around, get advice or you could end up with 8 different saddles, frustrated, in pain, and looking for choice number 9. Not worth while. One you have your saddle, enjoy the ride!
