Saddle too cushy?...

I found my plain Brooks leather saddle was just too soft and cushy for me anymore.
I'm going with THIS baby now!:

I ordered the women-specific "S" model to fit my wider sitbone spacing.
Chamois? Yeah right,.....FOR SISSIES!!!!

Lisa,

I REALLY want to know how that works out for ya. Swapping something out for the extra weight? The Bars, Pedals??

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 03-10-2007, 03:06 PM

Indeed, yes. To make up for the extra weight I got rid of my brakes, brake cables, etc. Brakes are for SISSIES.

Good point. Might I also suggest that you ditch the shoes. No telling how much they weigh. If you ride clipless you could just stick your big toe in there.

Toes? I got rid of them long ago- too heavy. Good idea about the shoes though...
