I’m wanting to try for first time a split nose saddle however I ride all the way forward on rails on the old Fiziik tri saddle which has a much longer nose than most of the split saddle options I’ve seen.
Any options on something that may get me as forward out there ?
Thanks
With a split nose saddle, you sit right on the front of it. Your position can easily be 5cm more forward than your current saddle.
Thanks I ride quite far out on the nose of the airone tri saddle which is 300mm length. Any recommendations on a split nose that would be best to try out if getting as far forward was the goal ? 50cm is a lot so guess quite a few may work for me.
Any split nose saddle can put you farther forward than your current saddle.
ISM, Cobb, or Dash.
Dash is my favorite.
I’ve tried quite a few different saddles and Dash is by far the most comfortable. So much so Im inclined to buy a couple as back up just incase they ever stop making them.
I’ve been through this a bit in the past (as my aging TT bike has a relatively shallow seat tube angle compared to a new TT bike. I’ve fairly long legs so the shallower angle pushes me further back compared to the BB that would happen for a shorter rider. It has a 1-position-only saddle clamp, so I have to slide the seat as far forward on the rails as I can.
The dimension that matters isn’t the actual saddle length, but the distance from the nose to the rearmost part of straight rail (before it curves back up to attach to the saddle base).
The best I’ve found for that so far is an ISM (adamo) Prologue. (Now called the PL 1.1. The PL signifies Performance Long ).
I’ve used this in the past, just not exactly as pictured. Cut the top section off so you’re left with two parallel rails connected at the back. Then just slap the rails onto the seatpost and slap the saddle onto the nifty double-clamp.
