    Question How do you like your Selle SMP Stike saddle?

    After reading a thread on Favorite saddles I ended up ordering one from Ebay link that was provided in one of the thread. Should come sometime next week probably, they also assured me that they have plenty in stock ( for any of you who wants one
    So i was wondering how you girls like the saddle after you bought it? First of all how do you align it? Did it help with the pain when riding on the drops? I tried to research it on the internet, but none of the sites gives a review. So, i thought the best place is TE.
    Thanks for the info,

    Great rides to everyone

    I'm pretty much in love with it, but I think I may need to do a little tweaking. My sit bones are still getting sore, which may be because of the inconsistency in my training regimen, but Bike Goddess recommended trying raising the seat just the tiniest amount. I need to put my baby on the trainer and mess with the seat a bit more, I think.

    I would be interested in trying one of the men's racing models, just to see how they feel, but they are SO expensive.

    for some reason i never had a problem with my sit bones, maybe on my first two rides. It's the front bone that gives me problem when i am on my drops or going downhill. I hope i can solve this problem as buying hundreds of saddles is frustrating and expensive. Plus, if you think about it, some people spend as much money on new saddles as a cost of a new bike. I can't wait to get the saddle and take it for a try ride. Thanks

    I like mine, though I wish the nose was a bit narrower. It left some deep marks on the side where the thigh meets the crotchal area when I did IMAZ. I rode for the first time again the other day and noticed again that I had some pressure on the sides, but my bits LOVE it! And for some reason the shape of the saddle lends itself to being dumped down into the aerobars. So that's a nice plus for me. Overall I give it a thumbs up. I just have to lube the sides REALLY well to prevent chafing.

    I just ordered one from the ebay seller. Their original auction is over, so here is the link to the new one. Took me awhile to find it, they are on the UK version of ebay, so you won't find them on the US one. Total cost with shipping to US was 27.99 UK which is pounds? This came out to a little over $51.

    Bits are great, pelvic bones were not. My tip on the other thread is that the back should flare up with the "bump" in the nose being LEVEL. If you level the bump and the back....you will ride on the bump. I'm still ponderin the Terry Zero X....totally flat.
