Choose a saddle for me?

Triathlon Forum

Cervelo soloist, 73-74 degrees with shorty aerobars, so I guess I’m in the slam position.

Ordered a profile tri-stryke, which is great for schooching forward on the saddle on the aerobars, but murder for a normal road position because the back half of the saddle is ridiculously narrow for me and pinches my sit bones. I’ll have to send it back.

Any recommendations? I guess I’m looking for a long, perhaps more road oriented saddle. I’m a pretty big guy at 215 lbs, so comfort is key vs. weight savings.

I know that saddles are a personal choice, but a few recommendations for me to try which fit my criteria would be appreciated!

thx

longer?

Arione Tri - a little more padding for the squishy bits

Selle San Marco Rolls. If you look closely, there are still A LOT of professional riders still using these. $29.95 at Nashbar is the cheapest I see it.

Selle San Marco Concor Light. Wide as the Rolls, slightly less padding, quite a bit lighter…but still very comfortable. $59.95 at Nasbar as well…

Selle San Marco Concor, if you can find one…widest of the three, probably heaviest, but I don’t remember…but built for long miles.

Oh, and I forgot the San Marco Regal Ti…another nice saddle.
