SI Turbomatic, SSM Aspide Glamour, Ruby...T-shaped Saddle Chat HERE!

[nscrbug]

The Turbomatic might work for you too, depending on what your measurements are. It's very crowned.

Oh no!!! I'm concerned to hear this. I ordered a Turbomatic Gel Flow and it should be here any day now, but I was under the impression that it was FLAT. To hear that it is very crowned makes me think that it won't be a good saddle for me. I guess I'll see when it gets here.

The Turbomatic might have to be the saddle for the next bike, then. Oak, how wide is the nose, relative to the Jett?

[OakLeaf]

Well I passed my Jett on so I can't look at them side by side, but I would say the Turbomatic is a bit narrower in the nose. The nose is definitely longer.

I didn't get pinching with the Jett, but some pressure and chafing.

The longer nose makes me happy. I do NOT like how much shorter the nose is on the Ruby, vs. the Jett. I'm definitely a nose-steerer. No way would I put a Ruby on a cyclocross bike.

[OakLeaf]

I'm definitely a nose-steerer.

Oh boy does THAT bring up some mental images!

I didn't realize the Ruby's nose was shorter than the Jett's. I probably wouldn't have been happy with it, then.

Ha! I didn't realize it, either...I thought I was imagining it while riding, but DH made mention of it, as well.

Where is one of those ROTFL emoticons when you need on

Bwahahahaha...he didn't notice it WHILE I was riding, just when he was swapping out the saddles on my bike. There really is a noticeable difference in the noses of those saddles. I never noticed that when comparing photos, for some reason.
