Subject: RE: ISM Racing Saddle vs. ISM Road Saddle I started with the Race. Loved it. Then spent some time and started to feel exactly as you did (major discomfort out of aero, even if only for a minute ). I wasn't concerned enough about out of aero performance to make me switch, but enough to make me want to try the Road (LBS had a 60 trial period ). What a relief! Road was great all around (have one on my road bike now too ). The Road is more forgiving over long distances even if you just stay in aero I found (where the Race started to bother me after awhile in aero too ). I thought this was just the break in period of a new saddle, but the first ride on the Road has zero of the discomfort I had felt the ride before on the Race. |
