OK I know that bike companies want to constantly improve their product as well as make new versions so people buy new ones to upgrade BUT it does make it a pain when you have to get a new saddle.

I have the 2008 Jett on the tandem. I like a bit of padding as the tandem is aluminimum and as stoker I sit right over the rear wheel. I have the Specialized Ruby on my Ruby, but that's not enought padding.

Now it's become uncomfortable so I guess it's got too old and now I need a new one.

Yes I should of brought a spare! But I didn't.

So how different is the 2011 model to the 2008? Do I shell out the bucks and buy one and hope it's as good as the previous model?
