advice on bike saddles

[mimitabby]

I have some info on an S saddle. A friend of mine who rode the Paris Brest Paris this year had a brooks normal sized saddle (sorry; don't know what model) on the back of their tandem. whenever she stood up, the nose of the saddle was poking her. She got the "S" model instead 1 month before the big ride (1200 kilometers). She had many problems* due to the length of time she had to stay in the saddle. But saddle sores was not one of them.

*numbness in hands and feet that did not go away YET, lost toenails, PTSD*

I've ridden an Avocet O2 for years (not the same one, but several of the same on all of my bikes) They do not make them anymore so I purchased a Terry Zero X saddle and I really like it. I use it on my mountain bike. It is minimally padded, but enough for me.

You can purchase them on the Terry Precision Bicycle website.

They have a nice return policy on saddles if you do not like it. Check it out.

I guess there's only one way to find out if I like the S, and that's to try it out!

thanks for the tip on moving it back, knotted. I should be getting the saddle around 7th of January, so I'm really excited!
