Selle SLR Diva Gel Flow????

[Maui girl]

I ordered this saddle and rode in it about 10 miles. Saddle rails are not very long and so the "safe" adjustment zone did not work with my bike. Found the saddle very slippery, which I did not like. Will send it back due to the short rail as well as slippery issues,so can't comment on how it would be on a longer ride.

I demo'd a Lady and I liked it. It would be great for a touring bike. But I was looking for something a little race-y-er for the road bike. I got a Diva and I've used it for about a week now. I even put it on my commuter bike so I could put some miles on. (Right now the value of the rest of the bike about equals the price of the saddle!)

I do not have a conclusion yet as to whether I like it. I need to tweak it more before I decide. I got it at REI so if I need to send it back, no problem.

For a long time I had no saddle issues. Lately I've been having some trouble finding ones that work for me. The discomfort I've had has mostly been pinchy pressure on mostly my left seatbone. I recently had a Retul fit and that issue did not come up then but maybe it's time for a follow up with this saddle issue.

I have been riding some Terry Lib Ti Race saddles. I had the same ones on my road and touring bikes for years. Suddenly this year they have not been comfortable, even though I have not changed anything about them. I got a Specialized bike with the 2007 Jett 143 saddle. That saddle never worked for me, it was too hard. I did get some entry level Specialized saddles (A Windie 143, and another one) and they have been fine. So my search continues. The next time I put in a Nashbar order I'm going to try one or two of their housebrand saddles for $20 each.
