ANOTHER saddle question
Quote | Reply
I have just bought my first roadie and am swapping out a bunch of stuff on it, including the horrible saddle that's on it right now.

I ride an Adamo on my TT bike and have a really aggressive/forward position. The Adamo is awesome for that, but it's less comfy when I sit up. So, for the new roadie, what kind of saddles are good for a little more upright position? And still won't chafe or pinch?

Thanks. :-)

Maybe I should put something nice here.

Maybe you just need to spend a little more time in the road position on it and make sure it's set up just right? I had my biggest mileage month ever in April and it was all on the track and road bikes with the Adamo.

I love the Adamo on my TT but on my road bike I use Specialize Jett and love it- womens saddle. The Adamo chafs when on my road bike- not fun!

You just have to experiment. Find a shop that will let you try out a saddle and return it in 'as new' condition... if you can. That way you could maybe do 1 ride on the trainer and see if it worked. I don't know how many places do this but my LBS did. I tried 6 saddles before the 7th one stuck.

I may have the opposite problem - For years I have been using the same saddle on the road and tri bike but now I have a new tri bike with a more aggressive position and may have to get a new saddle for the tri bike. I'm going to give it some time though.
