    Bontrager Saddle

    At what point should I start hating mine??? Is it not uncomfortable yet because the longest nonstop ride I have done so far is only 27 miles and it doesn't really start bothering people until 40+ miles? I'm curious why everyone hates the Bontrager saddles and at what point they realize that.

    hey Pink
    if it isn't bothering you, don't worry about it. There is an exception to every rule!

    I was just curious about how quickly people knew Bontrager was the wrong saddle since I don't have a point of reference or that much time in the saddle yet. Since they are so overwhelmingly rejected, I wondered if people knew right away.

    I test rode a lovely Trek 5200 WSD several years ago and within 5 miles was begging for mercy from the Bontrager saddle. This was when I was used to riding a Terry Butterfly saddle on a Terry Isis bike and had done several centuries without so much irritation as five miles on that Bontrager!

    Just one gal's experience....

    After a few shorts rides on that saddle I knew that it had to go or I would never stick with riding. It gave me lots of soft tissue pain but if it works for you then that is good. Dont change your saddle if you have no problems with it.
