Anyone try New Terry Saddle Falcon X?

[rustygrass]

I took my new Falcon X out for a short 20 miler yesterday, and while the sit bone area felt good, I think my girly bits were a little crushed. I'm going to try to tip the nose down a little more today and go for another 20 miler and see how it feels. I do like the firmness (I don't sink down into the saddle), as well as the narrow nose. Overall though, I'm not sure it feels all that much different than my Selle Italia Lady Gel; I'll have to pay more attention or do some consecutive test rides.

I have a San Marco Aspide Glamour Arrowhead arriving tomorrow... about to go into saddle overload!

Last Saturday I did a 55 mile ride on the Falcon X. After a bathroom stop, I noticed a bit of discomfort in the soft tissue area. At the next rest stop, I sorta pinched or squeezed "everything" together before pulling up my shorts. It made a difference--no discomfort at all. Maybe y'all already do this, but it was a new stategy for me. Now I'm doing "the pinch" all the time. If you've already got your shorts up, just reach inside and pinch!

Any thoughts on this????

gah, this is really touchy stuff
after i posted that guys could sling all their stuff to one side or the other
i discovered that i could sort of do the same thing too.
but pinching ? never thought of that.

Pinching! Maybe the Falcon inspired that, because I found myself "shifting" things around a bit too these last two rides I did with the Falcon. It did seem to help, if only temporarily. I did get it positioned so my sit bones are where they should be though.

If the San Marco Glamour doesn't work out (should arrive today), I fear I'm going to have to decide between 1.my girly bits being sore/numb with the Falcon or my old Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow, or 2. "crease" chafage with the Selle SMP Strike.

Hi,

Is anyone looking to sell a Terry Falcon X? I really want to give it a try as a narrower-in-the-nose alternative to my Terry Liberator. If yes, please PM me.

Thanks, Nicole

I had the same problem a Kyna with the Sella SMP. I got sore where the saddle pressed on the inside of my thighs rather than my girly bits.

It's funny that a lot of you are looking at the Falcon X. I just found it on the Terry web site last night. I joined the forum to ask about the saddle for triathlons. I'll let you know what they say when they reply.

I bought one from ebay this week to replace my terry zero (too much padding). I'll let you all know how it is once I get some miles on it.
