saddle question (yes, another one!)

[Miranda]

I have the saddle you ride now. My issue with it hurting my pubic bone on my road bike is that my bike frame is too big. I'm rolled too far forward on the pubic bone for reach. Getting a new road ride soon to solve that.

I put the same saddle on DH's mtb I took on a trip. Worked better. City riding. But, not so much saddle time. Versus a long road ride.

On trail riding my Bontrager stock saddle that came on my mtb is ok. Only cuz I'm not actually sitting on it very much. Trying to use that same saddle to ride pavement in the sub w/the kiddies (read sitting more) is horrid. It's a 143. I need a bit wider for being seated longer.

I just got the Terry Falcon saddle to try on my mtb. It's been better for spinning the hood. Haven't tried the trails yet. The only thing on the Falcon, or any any saddle, for mtb I would be mindful of is the length...

I say this cuz if you do a lot of "hop on/off, slide around, put a foot down" etc. vs. staying seated on the trail... the extra length on the nose could be bumping you in the spine.

The Falcon is a bit shorter of the Terrys. The SheSpeed is shorter yet. Also is my Bontrager stock mtb saddle. Somehow though, I think the Falcon is going to work.

Another nice thing about the Falcon is the narrow nose & wider rear platform combo. The mtb shorts are baggier, and I didn't want a fat nose catching on them. Or too sticky of a saddle surface (like the textured pretty Butterfly). Falcon is leather slick--but with a few back graphics =s bit of grip.

FWIW. Good Luck!

EDIT: here's a link to the Falcon (mine is black, looks sharp w/graphics on my mtb too)...
