Specialized Jett/Ruby: The new ones

[gnat23]

I dunno about the overall shape, but it looks like they smoothed over that plastic tip on the front that drives me absolutely bonkers.

-- gnat!

3 days before my last race, doing a seated climb..I felt something move beneath me. Finished that ride very tentatively, ran to LBS just before it closed. My beloved Jett had snapped. LBS does not carry Specialized product so I had to hightail it down to another store before it closed. New Jett installed the next day.

I am not happy. My previously happy parts are now very sad. THEY (Specialized) have changed this saddle. I think it is squishier. Did intervals this evening and I am still very uncomfortable.

I did a bike camp in Cali in May and rode a 2010 Specialized Transition with a 143 Jett. I had no issues.

I'm in saddle he!! once again. At least I only have one more du.....

I have an older Jett 143 from a 2007 Ruby I've been trying to sell. It's not squishy enough for me. PM me if interested.

Good to know. The footprints look similar. My only problem is that I'm in between a 143 and 155. Finding a 155 will be tricky. (LBS only stocks 130 or 143, even in the "women's" saddles.)
