John,
How do you get to the positioning video on your site?
What is the difference between the flow and flow plus saddles?
Might make more sense to PM.

Click the “See Instalation Video” ribbon in the right hand corner in the cobbcycling.com main page.
I do not know what is the difference between the two models, but I am still trying to convince my son to give me his Flow Plus. I want to try it in my mountain bike, but he raced with it the day after the fit on his road bike and he does not wants to give it back

Right now, you have to move the cursor around the Video tab to find the magic area, usually over the"O" of video. My web people will fix that today hopefully. The VFlow Plus has more nose padding than the VFlow seat, it also has a slightly different relief shape to the inside of the cutout.
John,
How does the VFlow Plus support weight in comparison to the Adamo Typhoon? I see the Adamo as having two padded rails positioned on either side of the “sensitive” stuff. Same with the VFlow Plus, or does it work in a more traditional way. The Adamo works exceedingly well for me, but sometimes I would like to be able to slide further forward than it allows as compared to, say, the San Marco Aspide, or a Fizik.
Just wonderin’.
Thanks.
The Typhoon is an excellent seat for pressure relief but the noseless design does add more pressure to the sit bone area. The VFlow Plus does not offer the “total relief” from front pressure that the Typhoon will, but it does give a greater range of sitting positions. The new narrower design will allow you to slide pretty far back on the seat to gain a bigger support area without causing hamstring pinching. Your bike or seat post design my not allow you to move the seat as far forward as needed to sit in the middle to rear of the seat, riding just out on the nose may not be comfortable for long distance rides. Saddle rotation plays a big part in the overall comfort of most seats.
Thanks for the info.
And contratulations on CobbCycling.com! I’ll be an avid visitor (and likely buyer).
I could not find a magic spot.
So again, how do you qualify for flow vs. flow plus?
It is sometimes difficult to find the magic spot.
Hopefully someone will help you. If not, just poke around randomly until you get the response you are looking for.
Classic!
That’s usually my approach.
John,
I had my first ever mountain bike ride today. The shifting back and forth and the necessity to nose ride one minute and be way back the next got me to wondering if my ‘Blackwell Flow’ would be workable as an MTB saddle, or is it too short? Is there not enough resistance to sliding too far back?
I have not personally ridden a Flow on a MTB. I am working on a new ATB seat that should address the fore aft movement. I do think that the narrow rear of the Flow would be good however.
Thanks.
I see what you wrote about the VFlow v. VFlow-Plus regarding nose padding. Still wondering about which to buy though.
I’ve used the Adamo and was fairly happy with it. I’ve got narrow hips though and it would be nice to have something slightly narrower. I ride in the aero position and hoods/drops about 50/50. Nose of the saddle needs to be at least 5cm back from vertical line running through BB. Would you hazard a guess which saddle might work better for me?
My new saddle that will be coming out in April will be a better choice if you have to meet the seat setback rules.
Is it going to be something like the Flow or Flow plus with the nose amputated and the rail inserted further back?

Aprils too late for me…can I get a prototype to test now?
